grab pre-dinner drinks 7:00 - 10:00: Dinner at ______.

Morning topics would be introduced by us with one or two slides each

 

Ideas for outside speakers at lunch

- entrepreneur who has taken company public (Magid from comscore?)

- Danny Meyer

- artist (Maya Lin?)

 

For the 1-3pm breakout sessions the idea would be to form maybe 4 groups. In each group the idea is for people to go around the table and really openly seek help for their top 1 or 2 issues.

 

For a fun activity in the afternoon we would only do it if we can find something really awesome to do

 

Alternative idea to breakout sessions in afternoon:

- Have each person stand up for 3 minutes (hard stop on time) and speak about the Top 5 problems/connections they need solved, and have people raise their hands if they can help out, and we'll take down names to make connections afterwards.

Other ideas:

Bring Mark Hurst in to do a couple hour focus session on user experience design. Mark Hurst could also be speaker about user experience.
