    What Actually Happens

    Practitioners, not panels. Everyone arrives with expertise, experience and a perspective the rest of the room can use — newcomers included.

    • Facilitators
    • Community managers
    • Educators
    • Leaders
    • Newcomers
    1. Everyone in one room

      A block opens together. People pitch sessions in about thirty seconds each and the schedule fills up live — no program committee, no submission deadline, no slides required.

    2. Bring a question, not a keynote

      A problem you’re stuck on, a tool you want to put through its paces, or a story worth telling. That’s a session.

    3. Sessions run in parallel

      With real breaks between them and a lounge that stays open throughout. If a session isn’t for you, leave and join another — that’s the rule, not a faux pas.

    Facilitation is global; salaries are not. Take 25%, 50% or 75% off depending on where you live — honor system, no questions asked, no partner code needed.
