Dates for 2020
Remember the community calendar we shared last year? Link to video
Our dates are set. More are being added by the other event people in our community. Got some? Add them now!
Our first GoodGathering’s of the year are coming up
Our first is Brisbane on 19 February and because many people have asked, it will be a Speed Networking for Good event. If you’ve yet to experience one of these, you will be warmly welcomed into the tribe and make 10 new friends on a deeper level. Awesome!
If it works out as we expect, these will become a fixture in the calendar, alternating with other awesome experience-centered events. The strength of our tribe is in the connections we have between each other.
So, save the date! And help with the next bit.
Our first GoodGathering’s of the year are coming up
What if there was a detailed list of awesome venues that people who are planning good events could reference? (Maybe there is?)
Our event team need to know of all the amazing venues in the community, especially those suitable for our upcoming Speed Networking for Good event.
The things we need to know (not all at once though):
- Name
- Location
- Capacity (seated/standing)
- Cost
- Alignment with GoodNorth values
- Is it air-conditioned (no more sweat boxes, at least in Summer!)
- Acoustics/sound quality
- Option to bring our own food and bev
- Facilities like furniture and glassware
Earthbound 2020!
Our committee and advisory team have been working on the next two installments of Earthbound. All the feedback attendees shared has been thrown into the mix and we have the seed of an awesome plan.
We are going big, because the world needs big change right now. Our tribes – YOU – are the legends on the bleeding edge of what can drive that change. So we will need your help. It cannot happen without you. We’ll share more in the coming weeks, stay tuned.
Who is who in the Zoo?
Member Profiles
There are 400+ awesome people in our tribe list, and only a handful of member profiles on GoodNorth.co so far. How can we support each other if we don’t know what we each do?
It doesn’t cost you anything to add yours. Go for it!
I look forward to what 2020 has for our tribe!
Warmly.
