Great comparison. Infact even the whole Web2.0 concepts are very similar to the underlying fundamental principles of unconferences.

here is a list of similarities between web2.0 & unconferences

[...] Teemu Arina proposed this idea to Jarmo Viteli and the organizing commitee of ITK07. The basic idea is to have an empty track where the conference visitiors can setup their own agenda. Often you have good ideas at the conference, not before the conference, so it is a kind of user driven conference with ad hoc meetings. Also there is much more brain in the audience than on stage, so why not give the people a more interactive format? There is quite a lot of information about “unconferences” on the Web, they form a subcategory of “large group didactics”. The most prominent method probably is Open Space and also World Café. To get more info on this, read the Unconference Blog, there is a Wikipedia article with a lot of other links, also look at Why unconferences are Fun conferences for more insight. [...]

[...] “There is a reason why people like conferences with a lot of unscheduled time between sessions, and why the hallway discussions are frequently more animated than the discussions in the conference rooms. Some people believe it’s because the quality of speakers is inadequate (specifically because they lack the ability to make complex, important subjects understandable and interesting), but I’m inclined to believe it’s more because most people get more value out of one-on-one and small-group conversations with both peers and experts, where they get to discuss the issues and get answers in the context of their particular situation.” Update: Conference vs. Unconference [...]

[...] One of the commonalities among the unconferences going on is that they typically have a high-level focus of some sort that will attract the right audience to discuss that set of issues. I get the feeling that Ben is envisioning ASAE’s annual meeting with all the topical structure stripped away. This isn’t how I’ve been looking at it. I think the traditional annual meeting format is the complete antithesis of an unconference. It is too huge of a content tent. There has to be some focus around which to gather people. [...]
