We’ll co-create the program on the first day of gathering itself. We’re just providing details in case you are curious or haven’t done this before, but please don’t worry, it’s not too scary, 
. During this time, we will collectively identify topics of interest, cluster them into sessions, decide what will happen in each session, and finalize the GOAT 2024 program!
If you’d like to start proposing and discussing session ideas, here’s a space.
Please remember, opnce we’ve got sessions on the schedule, it’s up to YOU, as either session-steward or participant to get the party going. TBH socializing your session and chatting with others is the best way to figure out what to do. If people are, they will show up, if they are not then consider rolling your ideas into other sessions with broader interest. If people don’t turn up, it’s usually not personal, there’s a million different things going on, and think about how you can pivot and find your flow in another session. Anything is OK!
We have a GOAT Design Methods Zine with suggestions for different approaches to holding a session. It doesn’t have to be all lightning talks or unstructured discussions! Before the session, talk to other people and discuss what might be some pleasant and productive ways to use your time together. At best, you accomplish a goal you set out. At minimum, you take a lovely walk!
