BIL is an unconference organized and observed by the participants. It was founded in 2007 〔Gagnier, C. (205, April 17, updated May 25) “A BIL and TED Excellent Adventure”, ''Huffington Post'', retrieved from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-gagnier/a-bil-and-ted-excellent-a_b_462987.html on February 25, 2015〕 by Cody Marx Bailey, Todd Huffman, Bill Erickson and others who volunteered to help with the idea. BIL started as an unaffiliated unconference satellite to TED’s structured ‘invite only’ paid conference. BIL is an open, self-organizing, emergent arts, science, society, and technology conference. Anyone can come, and anyone is able to sign-up to speak, limited only by space and time.〔Becker, R. (2012, Mar 03). “Here's a concept: Populism; where the TED conference is elitist, the BIL is inclusive -- and very quirky.” ''Los Angeles Times'', D.4. Retrieved from http://ezproxy.lapl.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/925832126?accountid=6749 on February 25, 2015〕 The unconference structure allows for egalitarian treatment of anyone in any role; everyone is encouraged to participate where they can, whether that's clean up, set up, getting coffee, listening, AV work, blogging the conference, registration, etc. == Background == BIL’s mission statement: “BIL is an open, self-organizing, emergent, arts, science, society and technology unconference.” There is no permanent staff or location, no one that organizes or speaks is paid, and even the acronym changes to reflect the will of the participants.〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=87878033 “On the Road, There Will Be Robots”, NPR, March 4, 2008 7:00 AM ET.
