The Polyglot Conference is a 1 day unconference which is joined by a day of pre-conference tutorials.

The conference itself is a one-day (also called an open-space). This is a self-organized conference where attendees work to propose, select, organize and participate in the tracks and sessions for the conference. If you’ve attended an unconference/open-space before then you already know how amazing these events are. If you have never attended one, then you are in for a real treat.
