This wiki describes details, considerations, and logistics for organizing and facilitating “Aspiration Style” events. The Aspiration approach to event design and facilitation is strongly rooted in the folk and Creative Commons traditions; we've learned and borrowed liberally from those who have inspired and taught us (see Acknowledgements), and we encourage anyone visiting this site to make use of this material as you see fit, while being mindful to give back whatever additions, corrections, and modifications you see fit to share. And don't be shy about giving us Feedback.
This site is provided as an input or starting point for learning how to vision and host events that convene individuals focused on technology-oriented themes relevant to social change organizations (non-profit organizations/NPOs, non-governmental organizations/NGOs and a range of community and educational organizations).
Where strong or opinionated language is used, it represents emphasis on those details we feel have most informed the success of our events and related gatherings to date; your mileage may vary.

Aspiration is a global leader in the design and delivery of innovative gatherings for nonprofit and nongovernmental audiences. Our event philosophy and facilitation focus on maximizing collaboration and peer sharing, while making sparing use of one-to-many and several-to-many session formats such as presentations and panels. We believe the ultimate potential and power of any convening lie in the collective untapped knowledge and experience of the participants, and we strive to tap that vast store by maximizing dialog, creativity and idea exchange.
Over the past six years, we have convened and co-organized over 90 highly interactive events across the globe. We focus agendas around participant-oriented dialog that connects all the stakeholders in communities of practice, and model our events to reflect the diverse and network-oriented nature of the communities we convene.
