What We Will Talk About
We’ve known for a long time that lectures are terrible ways to learn. Today’s attendees are no longer satisfied sitting and listening to people talking at them. If you want to hold meetings where effective learning, connection, and engagement take place, you need to build in authentic and relevant participation.
Our time together at this Participate Lab will cover:
- Why creating participation-rich meetings is so important.
- Human spectrograms: a simple tool for learning about other participants.
- The Conference Arc:
- Building connection while uncovering wants, needs, and resources.
- Creating the right program.
- Consolidating learning.
- Facilitating individual and community growth.
- Ask Adrian Anything: using a fishbowl sandwich to facilitate group discussion on meeting design and facilitation.
This workshop is limited to 100 attendees, so register now!
Do you dread having to listen to one more boring panel? Have you been asked be a panel moderate or panelist, and wonder what to do? Do you want to learn how to make conference panels much, much better?
