First of all, that's not relevant at all. This was supposed to be a normal conference and they changed it to an unconference when they moved it and screwed their attendees. Second of all, I know people who have gone to unconferences and had a blast and learned a lot. An unconference (eg. a barcamp) is a conference where you don't have speakers lined up ahead of time--participants sign up to give talks. That doesn't mean the talks suck though. Sure, you probably don't have some awesome famous keynoter, and the quality of talks will be a lot more variable, but you can still catch a lot of good talks about a lot of varied subjects.
