8:30 to 9:15 pm: Clean-up and wrap-up

Parking

Any lot (except for the Marriott). 2 hours would be $12. Our sponsor told us:

"Marriott parking lot is under construction, so the arm that goes up and down to regulate parking isn’t operating. Free parking over there!"

The Session

SlideShare deck (http://www.slideshare.net/socaluxcamp/setting-up-for-success-the-kickoff-meeting)

Managing stakeholders well is a designer's and product manager’s keystone in launching a successful project: on time, with low risk and hopefully- with everyone happy. A great kickoff meeting can set the stage for the road ahead and... get everyone excited and in the mood to collaborate and problem solve.

In this session, walk away with:

• How to get ahead of the 8-ball: pre-kickoff buy-in and meeting preparation

• Effective facilitation strategies so people are engaged and off their phones

• The important information to communicate to create context and buy-in

Audience and speaker will interact in such a way that models kickoff meeting best practices through a real-life project example.
