Format
If you want to network and mingle please join 5 minutes early.
Here is the format:
- Event commences for welcome and networking 5 minutes before scheduled start time
- On commencement, attendees add learning topics (or issues/problems) for discussion to the zoom whiteboard – voluntary
- The preferred order of topics / issues / problems for discussion is decided by popular vote – using stamps on the whiteboard
- Each topic is allocated approximately 5 minutes
- The owner of the topic introduces the context, then we all have an opportunity to contribute our ideas, thoughts, opinions, advice, observations or learnings
- If you can’t get a word in, raise your hand visually or virtually
- At the end of the 5 minutes we may add extra time if the conversation is rich
- We do our best to always finish on time
The conversation
Join in, or listen to the conversation. The choice is yours.
What do you need to bring or prepare?
Well, that’s the beauty of this group. You don’t need to prepare anything. If you have a topic, question or issue you would like the group to discuss (or help you to solve) be ready to share it.
