We're so so so excited about Camp OrgOrg, and every week we lock in more beautiful content for you beautiful people. This week, I can't wait to share with you more information about what we're calling "Live Forums": it's OrgOrg IRL. As we described in our last blog post, Live Forums are a chance to meet for small group discussions and workshops and meeting your online friends face to face. Or just taking a little break. Up to you.
What can you expect?
From 2:45-4:00pm, Camp OrgOrg will feature an "Open House" of sorts, where you can walk around from table to table in our main hall, popping in on brief or longer discussions and workshops. It's going to be informal, unconference-style, for the most part, and to be honest, I'm not sure how it's all going to go. I hope it will be fun! :)
This is new and exciting (for me, anyway) and I think it has the potential to be an incredibly informative, educational, and invigorating experience. Eeeee!
What kinds of discussions and workshops do we have lined up?

We've also heard from you that you're interested in talking about performance management, leave policies, budgets & spreadsheets, and more that we don't have experts lined up for! We'll have plenty of open tables so that you can start your own discussions as you see fit! Find your "birds of a feather" and get to it!
And of course, there will be space for more casual meetings so you can say hi to your buddies, new and old.
I always find that when I'm at a conference, I don't have the time I'd like to just casually say hello to people, have a short but deep conversation, or yeah, check my work Slack "just for a sec." My hope is that between the "passing periods" in between sessions and our afternoon of more casual Live Forums, you'll have plenty of time to connect and recharge throughout the day!
See you in a week!
