Facilitator Guide
Key Notes
- Conference audiences are strangers. Start with the most universally accessible activity.
- After WYR: "Look around — you already know something about the people in this room."
- Bingo is the main event for networking sessions. Give it full time. Don't cut it short.
- Close with energy, not reflection. This is a social session, not a workshop.
- Optional: announce Bingo winners publicly. It creates a moment.
Discussion Tips
- Who did you meet that you didn't expect to meet?
- What's one thing you learned about someone in this room?
Closing Prompts
- "Find one person you haven't talked to yet and introduce yourself before you leave."
- "What's one conversation you want to continue after this session?"
