Hosted by Bournemouth University (UK) in partnership with the Electronic Literature Organization and the British Library. The Unconference culminated in the awards evening for the New Media Writing Prize on 18 January 2023.

Unconference Theme: Inclusivity

Tech and literature have often been realms of exclusivity, in terms of access, literacy, language, quality, culture, economics, and more. How can we open our realm, new media writing and electronic literature, so that it reverses this trend? How do we break down gatekeeping barriers, and actively embrace and encourage all people, approaches, cultures, abilities, and viewpoints?

Unconference Noncommittee

The following folks came up with these shenanigans, and will be at least partially responsible for the chaos that ensues:

• Symposium/Academic Chair: R. Lyle Skains
• Artistic Chair and Accessibility Coordinator: Deena Larsen
• Tech Chair: Ken Alba

The Unconference Noncommittee are committed to the ELO Code of Conduct, and will conduct all activities in alignment with these values.
