You are all invited to “beam in” via Zoom and connect with some of the participants. This is happening in the context of the <i><a href="http://www.nowwhat2019.com/">Now What?!</a></i> global gathering that I have posted about here previously. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Call in information, calendar links, and RSVP options are here: <a href="https://teamup.com/event/show/id/DVSjhuNDYtv3z9BRKb2GUr397MVHov">https://teamup.com/event/show/id/DVSjhuNDYtv3z9BRKb2GUr397MVHov</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will also attempt to self-organize some “buddy pairs” with people at the conference and people who want to continue “beaming in.” The idea is that you can be on Zoom (or Skype, etc.) and be the guest of your in-person buddy at whatever session(s) they choose to attend. Note that, as someone pointed out on the OS Hotline today, virtual participants may not be welcome in all the WOSONOS sessions, and we will ask permission of their initiators before bringing someone into the room in this way. I might create a Google spreadsheet “bulletin board” we can use to help coordinate this buddy invitation, unless someone else wants to give that a go?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, since <i>Now What?! </i>runs through November 22, it can be a platform for WOSONOS participants who wish to continue their conversations once the conference is over (and also a way to invite more people into them). Here’s a two minute video that describes the <i>Now What?! </i>process, which borrows from both OST and World Café, among other things: <a href="http://bit.ly/NW3promo3">http://bit.ly/NW3promo3</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have any questions or feedback, please email me here: <a href="mailto:ben@conversationcollaborative.com">ben@conversationcollaborative.com</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ben Roberts<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Now What?!</i> Lead Convener/Host<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><a href="http://www.nowwhat2019.com">www.nowwhat2019.com</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Schedule a call with <a href="https://doodle.com/benroberts">Doodle MeetMe</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>O: 203 426-1039<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>C: 203 733-2252<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
