How does an unconference work?

Yes. Every breakout is automatically captured using AI-powered scribing. You’ll receive summaries of conversations — even from sessions you could not attend — so no insight is lost.

Are there networking opportunities?

Absolutely. CU Unplugged is built around authentic, meaningful connections. Expect organic conversations, collaborative breakout groups, evening meetups, and plenty of opportunities to build partnerships.

Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

No formal prep is required. However, many attendees arrive with:

A key challenge they want feedback on
A topic they want to discuss
A project they are working on
A question or idea they want to contribute

Bring your experience — the unconference builds itself around you.
