What's the biggest unconference mistake you can make? Probably, adding an unconference track to a conventional conference program!

biggest unconference mistake: a screenshot of a computer software dialog box with the title "Warning" and the text "Proceeding with the operation 'Delete' will erase the contents of your hard drive. What do you wish to do?" Two option buttons are provided: "Proceed" and "Delete", and the dialog close box is greyed out.

As DEI under attack faces backlash, accessibility offers a clearer model: inclusion must be infrastructure, not optional.

An illustration combining two images, with an equals sign between them. On the left, an image with 1) a grouping of shapes meant to represent people (each with a small circle on top of a wider circle for a head and body) in many colors represents diversity. Diversity is defined under this as the presence of different people and perspectives. 2) A horizontal line of people shapes in many colors represent equity. Equity is defined under this as fair access, opportunity, and support. 3) A circular grouping of people shapes in many colors represents inclusion. Inclusion is defined under this as a sense of belonging, voice, and decision-making authority.

RIP, Conference Curator! The fantasy of the conference curator is dead. Instead, let conference attendees choose conference content.

How can we build connection and engagement with the people with whom we work? By giving up control over the choices they're offered.
