Facilitation Lab Denver
June Conversation Cafe
With Eli Wood and Lori Wilson
In Partnership With Broadway Collective
We’re so glad that Summer is right around the corner. Come for an informal meeting and conversation cafe. We’ve set up three connected rooms with different layouts ranging from casual couches and lounge chairs to a classroom setup.
Our goal is to lead you through a series of invitations to reflect on the ways that the structure and organization of space impacts the types of workshops and sessions that you can run. You'll have the opportunity to meet and learn from diverse professionals also passionate about these topics.
Whether you're a beginner or an expert in workshops and facilitation; this event will provide valuable insights and opportunities for growth in leading collaborative sessions.
RSVP now to secure your spot for an evening of learning, networking, and community building.

What People Are Saying
"In a world where we tend to connect digitally, it's so important to still come together, especially in a shared community where we're learning from each other and we're also affirming each other. So, coming here is worth the travel. It's worth being in the presence of others. You can't replicate that in a digital forum."
Susan Wilson-Golab

“The best part of the Facilitation Lab is the opportunity to network with other facilitators. This community provides a unique opportunity to learn and grow from the insights and experiences of the other attendees.”
