Talk description

Title:	Guided Conversations: An Inclusive Format For Communities and Teams
Short synopsis:	Communities of Practice, Meetups, and teams all have something in common: they need ways of sharing information between disparate individuals. Too informal and the conversation can become unfocussed. Too formal and participants are less likely to feel involved (and organisers become too burdened). Guided Conversations are a great middle-ground. Max size: 500 chars
Long synopsis (optional):	Communities of Practice, Meetups, and teams all have something in common: they need ways of sharing information between disparate individuals. Too informal and the conversation can become unfocussed. Too formal and participants are less likely to feel involved (and organisers become too burdened). Guided Conversations are a great middle-ground. Guided Conversations are a lightweight, quick, focussed format for having a conversation on a particular topic. They're easy to learn, easy to run, and easy to repeat as needed. You'll learn: * The basics of the Guided Conversation format, * Some quick facilitation techniques for making them smooth, * A chance to practice with a prepared question set. Max size: 5000 chars
