Run by Misha (who did the opening session at Saturday dinner)

Do you want to run a session at Edge Esmeralda? Or just want to get better at running conference sessions in general? I can help!! My job is helping people make their events better, and I like nothing better than geeking out about designing sessions and workshops.

My main belief is that a lot of the time, the best sessions are mostly about creating meaningful connection and learning among the people in the room. Many people who organize sessions work way too hard, and their hard work actually ends up getting in the way of this connection. (I wrote on a closely-related topic: Everything you did to make your conference better actually made it worse). This is good news because it means running a great session can be really easy.

This will be a highly-participatory workshop: Come with your session idea, whether full-formed, half-baked, or just exploratory, and we’ll work together to make it into something great and valuable
