I’m excited<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m excited because I get excited when one of my idea<\/a> come to life and influence real people, in real life, and has an impact. So was CLSxItaly: from a thought I had in July to an occasion where 65 people<\/strong> met and shared around one the their passions: community management! First time for Italy, as far as I know, first time, for sure, for technical communities.
\nI’m excited because only half of the attendees<\/strong> came from technical communities<\/strong>, while the other half represented travel communities, open source projects, coworking and urban spaces, creative artists, maker and much more.
\nI’m excited because we has a 35% women participation<\/strong>, and diversity matters.
\nI’m excited because we all had fun: 3,74 average score (out of 4)<\/strong> is something we can be proud of ! :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key learnings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The CLSxItaly core organisers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First personal gain was the core organisers team<\/strong>: discover that a spontaneous group of people is able to create a team that works great for accomplishing a particular tasks is always a bless! And so were Alessio, Michel and Stefano. Thank you guys, you make my small dream possible, and with style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second important point was the umpteenth confirmation that a vision, passions and personal relationships<\/strong> are the three key tools to achieve any goal: the before mentioned organisers team gifted me with their own time and commitment; Davide<\/a> had no hesitation when I asked him “We need a place to host 100 people for an event, and for free”; Francesco<\/a>, Francesco<\/a> and Mara+Chiara+Andrea<\/a> put real money to make everything possible: they all believed in the same vision I had and, sustained by a common passion and connected by our personal relationships, we all morphed that vision into a real fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Me<\/a>
Me rearranging unconference proposals<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Third key actor for the success of CLSxItaly were the attendees<\/strong>. Every time I received an Eventbrite notification that someone paid 15 euro to join, I though “Oh wow, another person that trusts in our idea”. The most important positive feedback we received were about the quality of the networking, the easy-going atmosphere and the constant sharing. All of them were only because of the quality of the attendees. Probably the non-free ticket for the event, the (still) niche topics discussed and the location helped to pre-selected the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the experience to offer to the attendees, selecting only two core goals and working all around them<\/strong> made the job. We choose to focus in creating a learning path equally composed by frontal teaching along a common narrative (the plenary sessions during the morning) and peer learning (the unconference in the afternoon), plus special care in creating lot of occasions to get in touch each other and warm-up relations as soon as possible. All the rest followed: over the two coffee breaks, the lunch and the aperitif I saw lot of different aggregation groups, and this was positive. Despite just a bounce of folks have participated to an unconference before CLSxItaly, the general feeling was positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what’s next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I lead an unconference session regarding next steps for CLSxItaly. We had some ideas to run the next event in Rome in six months, drive by people of the local context. Let’s see. For sure, I want continue what has been started in Milan. But, as for Milan, I cannot do it alone. Wanna help? Join the discussion<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
