You drove the agenda.
You shaped the conversation.
On October 18, 2023, the Rural Telementoring UnConference 2023 held a virtual event that featured an array of brief presentations on rural health and telementoring, followed by group discussion, idea generation, and collaboration.
Unlike traditional conferences, where the agenda is predetermined and there is limited opportunity for interaction and conversation, an UnConference provides structure that facilitates sharing experiences, idea generation, and partnership building in pursuit of shared goals.

What is an UnConference?
The UnConference format provides a unique opportunity for attendees to focus on what really matters to them, as this is a conference without the rules and structure of a traditional conference. The UnConference kicks off with a series of brief 4×4 presentations (4 slides in 4 minutes), which help set the stage for discussion. Attendees then identify, categorize, and rank topics they want to discuss. These topics, in addition to those gathered from the registration, become the focus of breakout session discussions. Visit the Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC) website to explore the UnConference concept in more detail.
