The Coffee House: Speed Topics

Wed., 7:45 p.m.-9 p.m.

Concepts for the American Society of News and Community Forums (ASNCF)

Most of Thursday will be devoted to breakout sessions called by participants during an open agenda-setting session first thing on Thursday. To see the agenda, six participant-experts will follow our after-dinner speaker with "speed topics."

If these "experts" have biases, they'll say so. Their role is to see conversations. Each will speak for two minutes about a key issue facing operators of local online news communities. Then all of our participants will be invited to form coffee-house style conversations in six corners of the room lead by our participant-experts on the topic they announced.
