PdF unConference May 19th!

This year, we'll continue Friday's conversations on Saturday at the first ever PDF unConference.

* Got an idea for a hands-on workshop?
* Eager to hash over your latest project?
* Dying to dig deep into the latest technology tool or trend?

At the PDF unConference, there is no audience, only participants.

There are no "official" sessions; you drive the agenda. We'll provide the space, the food, the caffeine and the wifi; you do the rest.
