Let's Build it Together: Cocreating Meaningful LS Community Events

The Theme
Every time the Design Team meets in the 'lab' (the meeting we have before an event - to design it together), we often spend an hour or more agreeing on a theme. So, in order to save time, energy, and still engage the community - I've created a string for all of us to come up with meaningful topics for the rest of the year!

My intention is to show you that one person can facilitate 8, 20, or 100 people using LS. Because when you lean on the structures - they do the work! And at the same time, the collective will be able to fully contribute to the topics they want to see happen in the future. It's a win-win x infinity.

Our Host
We've been invited to use the cool space at Iteratec, who will also provide some food and drinks. We are always very appreciative of our host's generosity, and track no-shows, so be conscientious of your registration. ;-) We gladly accept donations to keep up the backend of the operating costs of the meetup site too. You can find a Paypal pool link on the front page of our Meetup site. Thank you!

What this Meetup is about
Want to experience another way to run a meeting, make a presentation, or build engagement? Then you might want to join us to play with Liberating Structures. No experience is necessary, just a curious mind and a desire to do things differently.

This community of practice comes together regularly to experiment and experience a set of 33 structures (codified facilitation methods) that are based on collective intelligence science. They typcially energize and inspire insights - no matter how long a work day you've had.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
We don't debrief during the event because we want it to reflect a real-work-application as much as possible. However, our intention is that people leave with inspiration, connection, and some kind of insight - whatever the topic. There's time to ask questions and talk about the mechanics at the end or at the break.
