Hey guys,
I would like to share some feedback with you about the pre-flock session,
I've done today.
There was only 1 speaker, Michal Novotny, who made it to the session. I
contacted 45 of them, 4 of them showed the interest, but one day before,
most of them canceled it.
BUT, I still think it was worth to try it again next year because I was
able to provide useful feedback to Michal and he was happy to try it!
This year it was experimental, as I have done this practice for the first
time as an online session and with the external audience. And it was a good
lesson, I can say :)
What I've learned from this session and we can improve to the future:
- it is good to do it one week before the Flock (lesson learned from the
previous year)
- list of speakers - it should be exportable to EXCEL, not only on
the
website (as Bex has some problem with that I think) and ready at least 2-3
weeks before the flock
- it was not really clear for some speakers if their talk is confirmed
or not (one week before Flock) so they were not sure if they should
practice talk.
There were some scheduling delays this year. I am saving these items to a list for 2019
considerations.
- it would be great if speakers know about this session from
official
organizers if it is possible - I am not sure how you confirm speakers talk,
but if you are sending the email, it would be great to mention that they
will have this option. If they are interested, they could sign in to the
list. It would be really helpful and I would know who to contact. Just an
idea :)
+1
- use as much communication channels as I can to promote the
session -
especially, the external one (I am an internal comms focused girl, sorry
about that I have to improve😂), because nobody reads the emails. And I was
not aware of the Flock communication channels (Telegram for example).
+1
regards,
bex
