[SessionDesign] Holding Space in Uncertain Times, The Session Design Lab, Feb '25 Edition

[Dirk Slater]

Hello Session Designers,

Thanks to everyone who has already registered for the upcoming Session Design Lab.

For those that haven’t, a friendly reminder.  We have a few spots left I’d very much welcome you to join. Whether you’re navigating shifting priorities, hybrid environments, or emotionally charged discussions, this lab provides a structured yet flexible approach to designing sessions that foster connection, clarity, and action. Join us to strengthen your ability to create spaces that co-power participants, adapt to complexity, and hold uncertainty with purpose. You can learn more here: https://www.fabriders.net/session-design-lab/

Please ping me directly if you’d like to participate in The Session Design Lab again, and I’ll send you instructions for guest registration.  

This week, the lab is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 a.m. UTC (please check your time  <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=The+Session+Design+Lab+-+Feb+%2725+AM+Edition&iso=20250211T10&p1=1440&ah=3>zone), which is friendly to Asia and Europe. Next week, it will be at 4 p.m. UTC (please check your time zone <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=The+Session+Design+Lab+-+Feb+%2725+PM+Edition&iso=20250218T16&p1=1440&ah=3>) , which is convenient for the Americas, on Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th.
