Session Structure
Sessions can be in any format - however, here are some ideas:
- Panel
- Presentation
- Goldfish Bowl
- Soap box - Just stand on a box and spout your wisdom.
- Half-Geeked - Half-Baked, but tech focused.
- Demo new stuff
- Debates
- Fixbit - Problem solving with a whiteboard, pens and running down kitchen timer
- Anything goes...
In terms of time, slots will be around 15 minutes of talking and 5 minutes of Q&A. If the group wants more time, it's okay to self-organise and reshuffle the schedule or find another location to continue the discussion. There will be a 10 minute interchange between each presentation to allow speakers and people to move from other rooms and set up or get a drink - so presentations should start on the hour and every half hour.
