2019/Brighton/Session Planning

Session Planning

1. If you have not proposed a session before, you can propose first
2. Intro to how BarCamp sessions are scheduled
   • Sessions are created by the participants in the room
   • You decide a topic you would like to facilitate
   • You don't need to be an expert, being able to ask good questions is sufficient
   • No slide presentations, no product pitches
   • If there is a session similar to yours, see if it makes sense to combine sessions
3. write THREE THINGS on a notecard:
   1. session name
   2. your name
   3. session #hashtag - used for archiving the session
4. Note: Some rooms will be recorded
5. Session scheduling!
6. Instructions for session organizers
   • During sessions, appoint at least one person to take notes in etherpad
   • Make sure to wrap up the session five minutes before the next starts to allow a break

Notes for faciliator

• Let session proposers put the sticky note on the board themselves
• Encourage new folks to propose first
• Let people propose their session, then ask how many people are interested, use that to gauge interest to determine room size
