Reciprocity | Wed., Sept. 15 / Thurs., Sept. 16 / Fri., Sept. 17 / 2010
The New Communicators is a three-day series of events exploring the ways we communicate with each other.
Events are created by anyone and anyone can attend. It is an open forum for discussion, education and inspiration.
This year, let's explore the concept of Reciprocity.
We have a small web studio with seating for 12 or so (and probably upwards of 20 if you brought more chairs). There’s a modestly-sized whiteboard if you’d like to use it, too.
It’s right above The Beermongers, so those in attendance can bring some pints upstairs if the situation calls for it. We also have [...]
Event submission opened on Monday. Here are a few things to think about.
Once you post your event, we will create an event on Upcoming and insert a link to it on your event page here on The New Communicators site. That way you can keep an eye how many people are thinking about coming to your event. If need to keep a limit on the amount of attendees, be sure to note that in your event description.
There is no formal submission process, no committee to approve your event. Once you post it on the event schedule, it is out there for all to see. The responsibility is on you to follow through with the event.
It is very important that you secure your venue and communicate directly with the managers of that location. If the venue is small, you may want to put a cap on the RSVP list.
Get your event in as early as possible so there is time to promote it. Widening the reach and awareness of your event will lead to a more rich and diverse discussion with new and interesting people. You want that, don’t you?
If you run into a challenge with your event and need some advice or if you need to cancel or edit your event posting, let us know. We are happy to help out anyway we can.
Above all, have fun and enjoy the experience. I know organizing things and speaking in front of people can be scary sometimes. On a personal level, The New Communicators is a way for me to confront those fears in my own life. Believe me, if you care about something it’s worth the effort.

Pinpoint Logic has a 4th floor converted warehouse space (brick walls, skylights, etc) that can fit 50-60 comfortably. The space is small enough that sound system won’t be necessary. We have a large screen TV for any presentation needs.
Bathrooms and kitchen available. We have some seating, but have hosted most events here as [...]
Take advantage of our nice space in a large white room that can fit up to 100 people at a time. We’ll provide the space including a projector, sound system, microphone, seating, drinking water, coffee, and bathrooms. A stage can be brought in if necessary.

So you’ve done a little thinking about an event you’d like to put on, you love the idea of reciprocity, but you don’t know where to have people meet. Last year, we had some event space offered to us for free, and we anticipate that happening again this year. Until we have those spaces lined up, here are some ideas about selecting a location, and a few good places we think you should consider. Have a space to share? Offer up your venue!
A few things to consider in choosing a location:
Larger spaces, may cost money:
