What it looks like:
- 15-100 people.
- People attend to hear several speakers share something specific, whether it's their own Notion setup or techniques they're teaching the audience.
- Chairs are set up facing the front of the room where, ideally, the speakers can share their screen using a projector or large TV.
- Time is provided to ask and answer questions from the audience.
- People leave feeling like they learned new things and are empowered to try them out for themselves to augment their own Notion experience.
Top tips:
- Work with presenters in advance to understand what content they want to share. They should have a script or deck of slides prepared at least several days in advance.
- Ideal speaking time is less than 15 minutes to keep people engaged.
- Every presentation should incorporate some interactivity, whether it's allowing questions during, or asking people to take actions in Notion at the same time.
- This type of event requires the most advance preparation, so factor that in.
Pros:
- A structured event like this can be particularly effective to teach folks new things and share knowledge across the community.
- For Notion experts, it's a good way to build their profile and exposure to a broad audience.
- Newcomers to Notion are always looking for fun ways to learn what they do not know how to do with the product and get inspired.
Cons:
- Finding a location can be a challenge. The best way to find one is through a friend or someone in your network who can provide a room.
- Attendees may expect food and drinks at this kind of event. Working with a sponsor or selling tickets to the event is a good way to build a budget for food and drinks.
Example:
A group of Notion enthusiasts held a workshop for 60+ new users at Facebook's offices in Korea to walk them through the fundamentals and empower them to build cool things on their own.
