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.

About Facilitation Lab Denver
Facilitation Lab Denver is a monthly in-person meetup focused on helping facilitators & collaborative leaders connect with peers in a supportive and inspiring facilitation playground. We gather to experience and explore all aspects of facilitation, including Liberating Structures, Game Storming, Thinking Wrong, MG Taylor, Improv, and much more.
At each meeting, we rotate topics and approaches, from highlighting practitioners sharing tips and tricks to open facilitation practice where you get hands-on with new tools and concepts.
In addition to Facilitation Lab Denver hosted by Eli. Voltage Control hosts Faciliation Lab HQ, and there are other meetups around the globe hosted by Facilitation Lab regional leads. See the region list for a full list of all active meetups.

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
Bloomfield Hills Schools
“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.”
