During the main unconference, there were 19 sessions on subjects ranging from:

• the very technical, such as protocols and account portability;
• to new approaches for Trust and Safety;
• to how artists can take advantage of the Fediverse;
• to the impact of the Fediverse on democracy;
• to how to talk about the Fediverse so people can understand, and more.

We will publish recordings of the demos, and session notes as soon as we can.
