What is a Cafe Conversation?
Café Conversations are a method for creating a living network of collaborative dialogue around questions that matter in service of the real work.
Cafés in business have been named in many ways to meet specific goals, including
Creative Cafés,
Knowledge Cafés,
Strategy Cafés,
Leadership Cafés,
Marketing Cafés, and
Product Development Cafés.

How does the Café Conversation work?
The workshop is not a lecture or tutorial. Most of the workshop centres on the conversation that takes place at the tables between your and your peers - and perhaps later at the bar!
If you are a Table Host, what do I do?
Remind people at your table to jot down key connections, ideas, discoveries, and deeper questions as they emerge.
Remain at the table when others leave and welcome travellers from other tables.
Share key insights from the prior conversation so others can link and build using ideas from their respective tables .
