2 session types — what do you think?

We’re going to have 2 types of sessions at InnovationCamp.

The first will be familiar to those of you who have attended BarCamp. It’s your basic Presentation/Conversation session. Each of these will last an hour. You’re welcome to do something individually or to get a few folks together for a panel.

For the second type of session, we’re trying something new. We’re calling them Problem/Solution sessions. We hope you’ll bring some kind of problem or challenge you’re currently experiencing. Some examples:

  • We’re an existing company and we need to implement a new X system. Should we build or buy?
  • We’re a new company relying on people making advance reservations for space. What’s a fair cancellation policy?
  • We’re opening a cafe and need to design a rolling bus station that will accommodate trash, bottles/cans/plastic, linen napkins, food scraps, and a place to put used dishes.

What problems are you facing at work? You’ll have the opportunity to present your challenge in a 2-hour session. We’ll do some large group and small group brainstorming, and we’ll have a moderator to help guide the sessions.

We’ve got 4 rooms for all these sessions — we’ll decide which sessions go in which rooms after we hear all your ideas : )
