Workshop Schedule and Logistics

Draft schedule for Openlab Workshop High level for now

Plan A - - as proposed to the NEH

Summary: Split the workshop across two days with a social/working dinner; Unconference/Ignite on the second night Pros: better, less exhausting, more creative structure for workshops; good to have working/social dinner in the middle Cons: requires two day commitment from attendees; workshop won't get benefit of Ignite/unconference at the end

Day 1 (Tentatively December 1st)

• Out of town guests arrive this morning or the night before
• Optional behind-the-scenes tour of a DC collection
• Lunch as a group
• Workshop session 1 of 3
• Social/working dinner

Day 2 (Tentatively December 2nd)

• Catered breakfasty-thing
• Workshop session 2 of 3
• Lunch
• Workshop session 3/3
• Wrap up in early afternoon
• Ignite and Unconference in late afternoon/evening

Plan B - - one day

Summary: Ignite/Unconference on the first night; workshop takes place all day on the second day; social/working dinner at the end. Pros: just 1 day commitment for workshop attendees; more benefit from Ignite/unconference at the beginning Cons: harder to do social/working dinner; one exhausting day generates less creativity/insight
