Lean Coffee is your chance to have a structured but informal chat with fellow delegates about the topics you’re most interested in.
In the session, you’ll work with each other to democratically set an agenda for a group discussion.
We’ll have a few different rooms divided by topics for discussion. You’ll pick a room based on a topic you’re interested in talking about.
Once everyone has chosen a room, the discussion is conducted as follows:
- Everyone in each room thinks of a few things they would like to discuss around the topic and writes each idea on a post-it note.
- The group reviews each idea, working to group together similar topics, clarify any unclear post-its and de-duplicate.
- Everyone gets to vote on the ideas they would like to discuss most.
- The top prioritised item gets 5 minutes discussion.
- At the end of each 5 minute segment, the group votes whether to stay with the current topic or move to the next-most popular topic.
Each session has a facilitator who will ensure that the session keeps to time. Note that the session must finish promptly at 16.25 to allow time for delegates to move to the workshop sessions, which are held in the same rooms.
