Unsheffield is a participatory unconference that builds on the success of BarCamp Sheffield and GeekUp. From 19 to 21 June 2009 the Showroom Cinema hosts a gathering of the finest grassroots geeks, creative visionaries, innovative entrepreneurs and a host of talented technologists.

This year’s theme is Future Users of Cool Technology and will appeal to anyone who’s interested in making technology useful and impactful – not just geeks.

The event will stimulate ideas, understanding, collaboration and debate around all manner of issues affecting design and usability, access to technology, practical and socially relevant applications of technology, sustainable innovation, the digital infrastructure and the creative processes that can deliver life-changing technology.

As well as identifying opportunities for bridging the digital divide, we also anticipate that participants will contribute to a wider understanding of how to effectively generate routes to previously hidden digital markets and transform existing markets by creative and intelligent use of technology.
