What is a learning party? Well, basically it's designed to be everything good about a conference without all the rigamarole... and much more fun and interactive.

• Instead of charging in the hundreds of dollars for one ticket, it's only $50... and that includes a delicious lunch.
• Instead of maxing out our capacity, we limit our numbers to give everyone there the best possible environment for conversations and networking.
• Instead of you listening to message after message and being filled with information, we want you to be part of a conversation with people in similar shoes and learn and grow within that relationship.
• Instead of some fancy shmancy hotel, convention centre or mega-church building, Cultivate is taking place at a local coffee house in Hamilton, Ontario called The Freeway.

How Does It Work?

We have divided the day's festivities into 3 segments (Listening, Forming, Innovating). In each of these segments:

• The first 45 minutes or so will involve a "round table" discussion in order to hear from some of the practitioners who have been chosen to share their stories during that particular segment.
• The next 15 minutes or so will be an "open mic" time where anyone can come up and share their story or ask a question about the specific segment.
• The rest of the time in each segment (an hour or so) is set up for discussion in what we call "party pods". The room will have 6 or so pods and each pod will be dedicated to a certain part of the segment (which will be revealed when you arrive) and everyone is free to merge in and out of the pods as they wish... be involved in discussion that is of interest to you.
