There's significant overlap in interests, tools, and experiences, and we want to broaden our local network of local facilitation, public participation, and dialogue & deliberation professionals.
The agenda is fairly informal. There will be brief talks or presentations, with plenty of time for conversation and networking.

Location is not final yet. If enough people sign up, we'll find a venue near a Caltrain station either in San Jose or somewhere up the Peninsula (e.g. Sunnyvale or Palo Alto). If we're a really small group, we might consider a virtual meeting.
We're meeting in my neighborhood:
Coffee Society
1875 South Bascom Avenue
Campbell, CA 95008
(408) 377-7734

This is inside the Pruneyard shopping center, located near the south-eastern corner (you may have to circle around the parking lots a bit to find it).
If you had planned on coming using public transportation, we can arrange to have you picked up from the CalTrain station in San Jose.
