4. Open Spaces
• Whoever comes is the right people
• Whatever happens is the only thing that
could have
• Whenever it starts is the right time
• When it's over, it's over
5. Law of two feet
• If at any time during our time together you
find yourself in any situation where you are
neither learning nor contributing, use your
two feet. Go to some other place where
you may learn and contribute.
15. prep - optional
• Food and drinks
• if no sponsorships available ask community
to bring food and drinks on WIKI
• Signage (or let community create at event)
• projectors are nice
16. Sponsorships
• First is hardest
• Chunk into functionality(lunch, breakfast,
supplies)
• Give credit
• post to wiki, blog, signs at event
• stickers, t-shirts, flyers?
17. marketing
• blogs, event calendars, prewritten email
prewritten tweet

• highlight any famous people in additional
posts

• pimp the tag for the event!
• wifi password
• location of grid
20. Intros
• aka Human Search Engine
• everyone goes around the room and says
• Your name
• Title
• 3 TAGS ONLY - self tagging
21. The prezo
• prep a ton
• or don’t prep at all
• do a panel
• make the entire room a panel (aka
discussion!)
• create a workgroup that continues after
event
22. The grid
• Time and location - let people fill in title
and speaker
• Needs to be centrally located
• Needs to be editable
• Presentations
• Time slots - do not have to be structured
15 mins - 3 hours (see law of two feet)
• Spaces need names (theme?)
23. Default mode
• is to SHARE
• but people can request off the record - but
be explicit!
24. Tourists
• don’t be one
• participate
• if scared - say I’m new. Everyone was new
once. Saying you are new is about setting
expectations!
34. Silly Name...
