Open Everything NYC: Tomorrow at UNICEF HQ

For those not familiar with Open Everything events, think ultimate unconference. These gatherings focus on, well, everything open, from what that terms means to each participant to how principles of openness impact art, media, public policy, science and, yes, even tech. I'll be speaking at the closing session of Open Everything New York City, discussing what open means to me and my thoughts on where applying the principles of openness and transparency have the greatest potential to improve our world, short and long-term.

If you're heading to the conference, take a look at the Open Everything NYC wiki. At time of writing, it's a bit spartan. Help fix that: add information on public transportation, nearby restaurants or coffee shops, or anything else you think will be helpful. Already know what you want to talk about tomorrow or have a burning question you'd like to explore with your fellow attendees? Add your comments to the suggested sessions page. The canonical tag for the event is openeverything, or #openeverything for all you microbloggers. The organizers are hoping to see the event become a trending topic on identi.ca and Twitter, so make sure to tag your dents and tweets.

Can't join us at UNICEF HQ tomorrow? The best part of Open Everything is that everyone is welcome and encouraged to host their own events in their own communities. You can find resources to plan on the Open Everything wiki, including information from past event organizers and participants. If you're looking for inspiration, start on the wiki and feel free to contact folks for more details.
