I keep seeing "Unconference" being mentioned.  WTF is that?!

• An unconference is a participant-driven meeting. The term "unconference" has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees, sponsored presentations, and top-down organization.  See more from Wikipedia on unconferences here.

Where do I buy tickets?

• This year's event in Vancouver is going to be run much the same as in the very early years.  We are not going to ask people to purchase tickets.  We want to help ease the building of the community in the Vancouver area, so all we are going to do is ask that you donate what you can to help us cover our costs!

Where do I donate?

• You can find links on the website at http://2014.bilconference.com or you can donate via PayPal or Bitcoin.
• Paypal:  http://2014.bilconference.com/paypal/

• If you do donate, please send an email to michael@bilconference.com with the subject "2014 Vancouver Donation" and include in your message the amount you donated so that we can better keep track.  Also please consider signing up for our mailing list.

Is there a suggested donation?

• We don't want to tell you what to give, we'd rather you give what you think listening to amazing speakers, meeting awesome new people, and being a part of our community is worth to you.  Believe us, its worth the world to us as organizers, so we hope you feel the same way. 

What is the money being used for?

• Our biggest cost is our venue, which comes equiped with a lot of the AV equipment we will need to run our main stage event.  This is going to run us about $4300 so we do need your help.  
• We have other printing and supplies costs will be more fully estimated in the coming weeks. 

Are there any rules at BIL?

• If you have very specific questions about the event as a whole, feel free to contact Michael Cummings (michael@bilconference.com) or Cody Bailey (cody@bilconference.com).

Will there be lunch provided?

• It depends, did you bring a sack lunch? Or perhaps two, one for you and one for someone else.
• If you're not the bring your own lunch type, you will find that our venue is right in the heart of Vancouver and there are many many places for you and your new friends to go eat.
