Preparation
Set the date, send the invitation, be hospitable
as with all event coordination, make it easy for people to attend
choose a location so people can be there
be ready to facilitate or have someone who will - see facilitating the flow
minimise the barriers to participation where you can
For when you meet in person:
sticky notes
something to write with (markers work well because they’re visible from farther away)
a timing device (e.g., a smartphone)
a space to meet with a table and chairs (that works for small group conversation)
people (who are willing to turn up to gain some learning)
optional: a camera (to take pictures of actions and idea maps)
No massive expensive and the lowest barriers to entry we can sustain.
