TeachMeet is an unconference, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't need organising. Early on, get a small group together to get everything sorted out for your event.
The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning, from teachers.
This is not an event to present about a product or theory - this is a chance for teachers from all types of establishments to hear ideas from each other.
Real narratives of practice that make a difference. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate colleagues and a whole bucket load of networking to boot!
