The Zine Librarians unConference is an inspirational, informative, and fun gathering of people who care deeply about zines, their preservation, and their ability to change lives for the better.

This year’s event will be held online on Saturday, November 8th and Sunday, November 9th. An unConference is a participant centric conference that is more concerned with the value to the participants rather than the value for the sponsors or organizers.

If you were looking for me today, you didn't find me, because I was inside The Cube printing zines at the Zine Pavilion. Tomorrow I'll try to spend more time outside of The Cube.
