We hope to include half a day of hands-on workshops based on feedback from you about what you are interested in.

How do I register?

1. Put your details on the  Registration 2008 page. **Note that there is now more space available!** If you were "on stand-by" you are now registered as an attendee. If you are interested in attending there are still a few places left: register quickly!

When is it?

Date: 22 August 2008

Time: 9:30am - 5pm

And then: 6:30 - later, Dinner at a venue to be decided

Where is it?

Venue: State Library of Western Australia, Great Southern Room, 4th Floor.

Break Out Rooms:  PC Training and Inspect-a-Gadget

Who is it for?

Anyone who works in a library, uses their library, thinks about libraries or wants to be part of the event. The venue only holds 75 people.

What is it?

An unconference works on the principle that whoever turns up is the right person and whatever you discuss is the right thing. People prepare topics, but sessions are decided on the day. Everyone is expected to participate by either presenting, joining in the discussion or doing another job. See what happened in 2007 at the archived page for the 2007 Library 2.0 on the Loose.
