My co-presenter is Rob Cottingham; the workshop provides hands-on experience with the approaches we've used to build participation on sites like NetSquared.org and ChangeEverything.ca. No talking heads: this is a participatory workshop!

Great set of critical questions, especially #8.

Alex and Rob are brilliant, not only in their expertise but in their workshop design. When they promise "unexpected insights," they're being truthful, because they fully buy into the idea of collaborative, web 2.0 work, in which they both speak to and learn from their "audience."

Less presenters and more catalysts, Alex and Rob explore cultivating the intelligence of a community -- by bringing out the intelligence of the people in the room. Like an experiential Cluetrain Manifesto, they will transform the way you approach tending your garden of community members.
