Here’s the thing about this year’s Potluck: You’re not just attending, you’re cooking.
Participant-led sessions are where the magic happens. They’re how we surface the real, messy challenges from the field, how we learn from one another across borders and contexts. How do we build the kind of momentum that actually moves the needle?
This appetizer session is your backstage pass to the Call for Participant-Led Sessions. Think of it as a friendly walkthrough, no jargon, no perfection required, just practical guidance on what we’re inviting and how you can contribute.
We’ll cover:
- What participant-led sessions are (and what they’re definitely not)
- The three Potluck streams: Value Proposition, Talent, and Financial Sustainability, and how your idea might align with one or dance across all three
- Session formats you can explore, from peer-led workshops to collaborative deep dives (yes, even escape-room style sessions, we’re here for it)
- What makes a proposal strong (spoiler: it’s not about polish, it’s about purpose)
Here’s what we want you to know: You don’t need a perfect idea to show up. Early questions? Bring them. Exploratory thinking? We love it. Want to co-facilitate with another member or even a non-member? Absolutely welcome.
By the end of this hour, you’ll have clarity on how the call works, what’s required, the timeline, and whether you’re ready to submit. We’ll also save space for your FAQs and real talk about scope and facilitation.
Think of this as your orientation to the call and your invitation to bring something meaningful to the table. 🍲
