Talk about RD Unconference. Document and share your learnings from each session with the group. But do not discuss NDA content at unconference! It is a violation of your RD NDA to discuss confidential material learned earlier in the week at MVP or RD Summit outside of the forum from where it was delivered by a Microsoft employee.
