The third annual "Unconferenz" is coming to Kapi'olani Community College on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010, for a full day of peer-driven
exploration in technology.
An "unconference" is a gathering where there's no set agenda, no keynotes and where the attendees are the speakers. The topics are
decided at the start of the day, and everyone is expected to drive the
conversation. And in Honolulu, the "Unconferenz" remains one of the
most prominent events of its kind.

cat litter boxes. This year, suggestions include the Apple iPad and
Google Buzz, cloud computing, and the future of news. But the agenda
won't come together until moments before the first session at 9 a.m.
