Greetings from Bristol in the west of England.
I’m a veteran producer of big meetings for exploration and co-creation.
Currently I’m preparing to showcase three meeting formats, each addressing a specific organisational requirement.
The names are undecided, so for the time being I’m referring to them like this:
MF1 “We want people to get to grips with the issue and reach an informed opinion.”
MF2 “We want people to get to grips with the issue, explore its facets and gain a rich understanding.”
MF3 “We need to bring stakeholders together and initiate sustained collaborative action.”
Each format observes the Max4 Principle:
The maximum group size for a proper conversation is four.

MF1 can accommodate up to 48 participants. The upper limit of MF2 and MF3 is constrained only by the capacity of the chosen venue.
MF1 and MF2 are fixed formats that are easily mastered. MF3 extends MF2 with activities that are custom-designed to establish common intent and initiate sustained collaborative action.
The new website area I’m creating will describe each of the three formats in detail.
I intend to complete it before the end of the month.
The 60 pages of the old website are still available, providing a context for the three offerings.
Thanks for stopping by.
