§ AWhata conference
It's a conference. Everything else about it is wrong.
UnCon is built on a simple observation: everything is absurd, especially conferences.
If you need a visual, maybe Meow Wolf but less trippy, and it's a conference.

§ ???Frequently askedanswered
Questions.
Is this a real thing?
The event is a real event. Which is to say: a group of real people agreed to be in the same room at the same time and named it something.
Is your reality real? Not sure. That's more of a you problem.
What's the theme?
Think of it as meta-conference. It is a conference consisting of that which is unconventional about a conference. Meow Wolf meets Electric Forest in a conference format.
Who's speaking?
This part is still being decided. However, anyone who proposes a "fireside chat" will be immediately banned.
How much does it cost?
The pricing model is also part of the experiment. Sign up and your email goes onto a list. Bigger list => bigger event => gooder prices.
Will there be name tags?
It's conventional for a conference to have name tags. What do you think?
Is "UnCon" short for "unconference"?
It's short for "unconventional conference." Or unconcon. Uncon for short. Unconconcon for long.
