From the Library Camp of the West pbwiki:  "Library Camp of the West is an unconference. Instead of creating a schedule of presentations and keynotes in advance, we (that includes you) will create a loose plan for the conference on this wiki ahead of time. On the morning of the conference, we'll set the day's schedule and break out into small groups over several sessions based on what attendees want to talk about.

Unconferences work when everyone participates. "Come with ideas, notes, examples, visual aides, puppets, whatever. Leave the PowerPoint at home."

Library Camp of the West, the first unconference in the region and will be held on October 10, 2008 at the University of Denver.  It is unorganized by Joe Kraus of the Penrose Library at the University of Denver, Steve Lawson of the Tutt Library at Colorado College, and Laura Crossett of the Park County Library System in WY.

Registration is free!  Hurry, though, because attendance might be capped at 100-150 or so.  We currently have 66+ signed up.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
