*as a '''butterfly''', walking about and unobtrusively listening to different conversations; or,

*as a '''bumblebee''', who jumps into a conversation right away and points at connections and data gathered in other conversations (in other words, cross-pollinating conversations.)

Note that even the person who initially proposed the topic that got the conversation started can two feet away. 

#'''help create the agenda (aka "The Wall"). '''Provide large post-it notes (or sheets of paper), and markers; and invite anyone who wants to propose a topic to headline it on a post-it, and form a line. Once everyone is ready, each person in line will read out their topic to the whole group, and hand the post it to the facilitator(s), who will assign it to a room (or easel/whiteboard). This will be done by placing the post-it on a pre-arranged grid on a wall or board (*). The facilitator(s) may combine topics that are similar (with the express agreement of the proponents). This also helps if there are more proposed topics than spaces (in any case it's always good to have a couple additional spaces or boards/easels at hand.) Once the agenda has been created, the facilitator will announce the beginning of the unconference (and they can participate in whichever conversation they are interested in.) (**)

#At the end of the unconference time (note that there could be one or several time blocks), the facilitator(s) will '''moderate the shareout''' from the groups that are still standing and want to share.

(*) We have also used an editable Prezi to build the Wall, projecting it for the group. You can make a copy of our template here: http://prezi.com/fa_x1pha9-q-/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy

2. Videos that may give you a sense of how an unconference runs:
