3:30 - 5:00: Fun activity -- LEGO Robot building?
5:00 - 7:00: Break for email checking, return to hotel,
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.
