What if we held a retreat with no speakers?
We could alleach spend time thinking and planning.
We could choose to talk with someone when it would help, or be quiet and focus, or some of each.
We could spend a day, or two, on the things we just don't get to, otherwise.
We could do all of this away from home, away from distraction, and with each other for company.

How is this different from an unconference?
No sessions. No schedule. No topics. This is a chance to show up and work on what you want to work on. It's more of a retreat than a conference. Picture a bunch of us with laptops, whiteboards, paper, pencils, and markers, working on our own or in small groups to focus on whatever topic we choose.
OK, not really NO schedule, because we'll have a time for meals, etc.
Branstorming, planning, strategizing, helping, writing, building, proofing. Whatever we need assistance on with the talent onsite.
