I thought the unconference was great! From a participants perspective, I didn't sense a lack of organization and was really impressed by all the different sessions that were available. It was hard choosing which ones to go to because they all seemed interesting (and I still have FOMO from missing out on a few). My favorites were the workshops where it was more collaborative and a smaller group setting - like the "How to Have a Nice Time Doing Politics with Your Friends" and "Let's Build a Canon". I also thought ending with the lightning talks was a real high - it was energizing to hear about all the cool things people are working on and how to stay in touch with people we met. I took a lot away from the conference and excited to attend others!
