To attend the conference, you need to create an account on this site, making sure you tick the Unconference 09 box on the registration form when you do. If you've already registered, simply join the Unconference 09 group.

We hope that as many as possible who attend will be able to present on an open source topic or project that they've been using in school or otherwise involved with, or perhaps just facilitate a discussion on a subject of interest. Unconferences rely on their participants to make them a success. If you'd like to be involved in this way, simply create a new session proposal, or see this page for more ideas.

Places are free for school and local authority staff and those presenting. Other places cost £55; do go ahead and register but please contact us to arrange payment. In the event of registered delegates not attending, and not cancelling their place at least a week before the event, we reserve the right to charge £55 to cover our costs.

If you'd like to stay at NCSL's Centre on 19th July, and perhaps have dinner, this costs extra: £80 for B&B, £100 with dinner. Please contact us if you'd like to book for this.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in or experience of UK schools education and open source software. This includes...

• Teachers, both primary and secondary
• ICT teachers, as above
• School librarians and business managers
• Network managers or other technical staff in schools or local authorities
• School leaders, and those involved in education policy at local or national level
• Open source developers, suppliers or consultants with an interest in the schools sector

This isn't an exhaustive list though - if you'd like to come, do, especially if you'd like to run a session on what you're interested in or excited about.
