Nautilus Lean Coffee--with Beer

The Spokane Tech Community Meetup is holding its first Lean Coffee. We will focus on the most recent issue of the journal and newsletters associated with the arts and sciences journal Nautilus. It’s free to subscribe to the newsletters.

Lean Coffee is a self-organizing agenda facilitation model that allows people to come together without prior preparation to talk about the things most important to those who show up. Your facilitator will show up with pens and Post-it notes. You show up with ideas, enthusiasm, and a curiosity to learn about the model, the theme of the event, each other—and your own thinking.

The underlying idea behind this event is that we can’t all read everything, but if we read any of the Nautilus content, share, and riff on what we read there, we’ll learn some things about cutting edge thinking in science, tech, and the arts; have some great conversations; and get to know interesting people (perhaps even ourselves) in the process. Feel free to comment about which articles you’re reading in the journal, on the magazine website, or the newsletters as we approach the event.

Also: Like most casual reading groups, you don’t have to have read the content to show up and participate. Nautilus gives a focus and gets us started, but the domains we embody and our own curiosity feed the conversation.
