Agora I/O "Etienne"
March 25-27, 2011, ONLINE conference

http://agora.io/etienne/schedule

What’s an Unconference

Why is Agora I/O an unconference? Good question! (1) There are no fees! (2) You choose the topics. (3) Presentations are selected by participants and not by organizers (it’s open to everyone). (4) Anyone can present and compete for participants. And more!

- http://agora.io/about

If you’d like to get on the schedule for a channel, please contact the channel organizer.

Slots are still open, and there's no coverage of bitcoin or digital currencies yet as far as I can tell.  
The live presentation will be on Sunday March 27 at 2:00PM EST. You can get a sneak peek at the presentation here:
