the change collaboratory
IN-PERSON GATHERING
Sat. - The Exchange [ 9am-3pm ]
Connect & network with local professionals and regional leaders & scholars
Share the latest & best in Collaborative Change
Join us for engaging conversations, presentations and group activities
Our purpose is to use the methods as we learn the methods in a community of practice - leaving with more than we came in with... giving back more than we realized. Come be with other like minded people committed to the power of collective wisdom and action. Whether you are a beginner or advanced user of collaborative change approaches, this is for you. We often pair up an advanced user with a beginner to co-facilitate an activity - transferring competencies and building mentoring relationships. The experience includes a hybrid session (in-person + online participants).

Do you also want to ‘peek behind the curtain and experience collaborative change design with professionals from around the corner and around the world? For more than fifty years, the fathers and mothers of this work, people like Kurt Lewin, Ron Lippitt, Kathie Dannemiller, and other thought-leaders have come together on a Friday evening to design a welcoming experience for a broader gathering on Saturday:
Fri. - DESIGN NIGHT [ 6pm-9pm ]
Come together for an intimate, friendly and fun design experience.
Bring a dish or dessert to share and your favorite beverage.
Experience 'Learning by Doing' Collaborative Design
The Friday evening intensive design experience is filled with design principles, laughs, note cards, food, drink and community. This evening is comprised of a smaller more intimate group of people [typically up to 20] interested in learning and contributing to the Saturday Agenda. If you want to learn about Collaborative Design - this evening is for you.
