[SessionDesign] Checking in on Virtual vs IRL (and Hybrids?) and another lab.

[Dirk Slater]

Hi Session Designers,

Got a couple of things for you,

- Virtual vs IRL vs Hybrid?

So it seems we’re starting to enter a brave new world where people have been learning how to be more productive in an online session and are now trying to make sense of when we should actually do the face-to-face. What are the trade-offs? When is it worth the risk and expense of doing a face-to-face (what people are now calling IRL - In Real Life)?  And what about Hybrids - do they really work?  I’m really curious about what people’s experience is on this.

Really happy to get a discussion started on via email AND also think it might be worth having a check-in - so if you’re available this Thursday the 24th at 4pm UTC, (check your time zone <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20220324T160000&p1=136&p2=224&p3=155&p4=41&p5=263&p6=51&p7=37&p8=125&p9=34&p10=170&p11=44&p12=145>) meet me here:

- Session Design Lab

I’ll also be doing a deep dive on the online vs offline thingy during the next Session Design Lab, which will take place on March 30th and 31st from 3pm to 6pm UTC. Let me know if you are interested in attending the lab again, as I’d be happy to have you as a guest. Also, if you know of anyone who might benefit from participating in the lab, point them to: https://www.fabriders.net/session-design-lab/ <https://www.fabriders.net/session-design-lab/>

- Capacity Builders Convergence

On April 5th, we’re teaming up with Aspiration to host The Capacity Builders Convergence. If you identify yourself as a 'capacity builder’, please join us. This is an opportunity to compare practices, share knowledge and deepen relationships with others doing related work. See: https://www.fabriders.net/capacitycon22/ <https://www.fabriders.net/capacitycon22/>

Hope to see you or hear from you on any of the above soon!
