Also, last fall, I took part in a series of edublogger unconferences with a very international group touring through New Zealand. There was also an edublogger conference in Australia, the TALO swapmeet in Adelaide. The edublogger events at CADE (it's in Winnipeg, I'm sure there will be some) this May would also preceed this conference.

BarCampScotland, which I helped to organise, too, at http://barcamp.org/BarCampScotland was a 80% edu event. Beware the hyperbole unless you're really sure. I think in Scotland we say "under sell, over deliver" ;-) I think you’ll find we’ve been having educational unconference format events for a while here, Will:

We've had several of what have been called "edubloggercons," many organized by David Warlick, at different shows. Hopefully we can turn this into something really fun and valuable...
