​Unconference

​Embracing the ground-up spirit, our Unconference is participant-driven – YOU shape the experience. Host or join an Activity. From board games to book raves, from creative jams to conversations on what matters to you.

​Just head to the Activity Board to claim a timeslot and space!

​🎨🎶📚💡
Ideas to get started:
• Local music appreciation
• Art jam
• Board games
• Book/poem sharing
• Teach-ins and mini-workshops
• Conversations about Singapore, community, and more

Between 1:30PM - 2:00PM, folks hosting an Activity may do a one-minute sharing about it! Your sharing should include:

• ​Your name and organisation (if any)

• ​Activity name and short description about it

• ​The start and end time

• ​Location: Which Activity Zone it’s at (choose a Zone on the event day itself)

• ​[If any] Maximum number of participants

• ​The energy and social level of the activity

​For example: “Hi my name is Louis. I’m hosting a game of Saboteur at Zone D from 2:00PM - 2:30PM. We can have up to 7 participants! It’s suitable for complete beginners and will be moderately social.”

​Ground-Up Booths

​🛑 Participation Guidelines

​Let’s co-create a space that’s fun, respectful, and inclusive:

​✅ Whoever comes is the right people
✅ Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
✅ Whenever it starts is the right time
✅ When it’s over, it’s over
✅ Use the “Law of Two Feet”: you’re free to move between activities – your experience is your responsibility

​✨ Be respectful of others and their ideas
✨ When participating in an activity, listen actively and participate, without monopolising the conversation
✨ Keep an open mind, especially toward differing views

​🚫 Do not incite racial or religious sensitivities, promote violence, or advocate for a political party or view 
🚫 This is not a platform for seeking singles/dating – let’s keep it grounded and respectful
