Hi Emma-?
Realizing this thread is a bit old now, but if you're still exploring ways to engage groups of people asynchronously, we recently introduced , a platform capable of generating an unlimited number of live video conversations among many parallel small groups, without the host having to attend each session.
The host records the facilitation elements for a purposeful conversation (e.g. agenda, video guidance, activities). The platform "facilitates" hundreds or thousands of live small groups with the recorded guidance and allows those groups to discuss, navigate together, and move into action.
Since the facilitation is pre-recorded and always available, these small groups can take place during the "main" live event or asynchronously after the live event is over, so the host can offer sessions across time zones and geographic regions without needing to staff them all.??

Happy to walk you through how it works or set you/others up with a testing environment to take it for a spin (oh, and btw, it integrates with tricider, kahoot, slido, groupmind and other collab tools). Feel free to ping me at julian@....?

Re: Asynchronous Group Discussions
Wondering how we might also attempt a more threaded and human conversation on , Google's new video messaging/threading platform.
I've tested it but have yet to use it with a group, given bandwidth constraints with many of my collaborators... Has anyone attempted using ThreadIt for asynchronous conversations, knowledge bases, etc.?

I believe there are a number of ThoughtExchange licencees on this list (as well as folks who've expressed interest in the platform). ?I wanted to let you know that one of the co-founders of ThoughtExchange, Dave MacLeod, wrote a book entitled "Scaling Conversations-How Leaders Access the Full Potential of People¡± that was released a few days ago. ?I read it cover to cover and found it quite valuable. ?I¡¯ve attached a list of the main sections in the book for my own use; however, you may find it gives you a bit of insight into the book (which is available on Amazon).
Regardless of whether you use ThoughtExchange, there are plenty of great principles and practices woven throughout the book . . .

May 7-8 Invitation: 24-hour an open space conference on the future of work
Hi All,
For facilitators and event organizers?who are interested in learning fun ways to organize global conferences, this weekend (May 7-8) is a 24-hour open space conference organized by a fantastic organizing team led by April Jefferson and Line Morkbak.
The "open space" event format is highly engaging; participants create the agenda once they arrive. The conference topic is the future of work.? There are 400+ people registered.??
Here's the ; the cost is "pay what you can" so it's very affordable.

Thanks for this! Really helpful. I tend to undervalue myself so a bit of peer comparison is great.? Like someone already?shared, I also use a role of thumb: 1-day delivery is 1-2 days preparation time. Having said that, what is your take on irl vs online events in terms of time needed to prepare??
I usually need more time to prepare for an online event than a meeting irl.?
Cheers, Lotta

I'm bidding to facilitate a board retreat for a local organization. While I've facilitated similar meetings, most of my facilitation practice has been in the context of an organizing or political campaign. Usually, I design and facilitate training or lead strategy and planning meetings related to a particular campaign.
My experience bidding on stand-alone meetings is limited, so I'm having trouble figuring out a pricing structure.
If anyone feels comfortable sharing your rate structure or system, I'd appreciate your insights. For folks who have something to say but prefer to remain anonymous on this particular question, drop your answer in this .
Anything about hourly rates, full-project rates, etc. would be helpful.

Thanks to everyone who has entered comments into the doc so far. They are very, very helpful. I might have overpriced myself for the specific bid I submitted recently, but oh well! It's all an adventure right?
I didn't quite understand all of Francois's notes, but interpreted them as best I could, creating a table in . It's the same doc as my original post; I'm re-entering it because it dropped off the thread.
Feel free to use, edit or refer to the doc however it's helpful, with or without identifying yourself.
