If this grid seems too complicated to edit, just scroll all the way down and add a comment.
INSTRUCTIONS: Fill in your suggestion for a presentation you'd like to make. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE (you might mess up the table). Just click inside an empty cell and type. The "Status" will remain pending until we see there is interest among attendees, which could be finalized the day of the event. Tracks A, B, C & D are small groups that run simultaneously in the four corners of our meeting space. Please avoid proposing similar topics in the same time slot.

Click the image above to see the larger photo of what the final planning for an unconference agenda looks like. We're providing a little structure below to start, but we want to encourage spontaneity at the event and offer anyone the opportunity to indicate what they will present by taping a page with their name and topic inside the "low tech" masking tape wall grid, with columns for rooms (A, B, C, D) across the top and rows of time slots listed down the left side column.
