We are thinking about the key themes we want to cover at the upcoming TAG2018 in Kathmandu in October/November this year.
I’ve written a short note with a few ideas but I’d love to hear ideas from the TAG community.
In particular:
- What themes would be particularly relevant to Nepal?
- How could we have attendees leaving the TAG with surprise and delight at how IATI can help address their needs?
Update: Please refer to the new meeting proposal for the annual Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meeting which is being planned for 13-15 November 2018 in Nepal. Please provide your feedback by responding to this Discuss thread.
Thanks Steven. I’m tempted to create a Steven+Herman Hub right at the centre of the venue and see what happens…
But seriously, I agree with the idea of creating more open and thematic space to allow a more free flow of ideas. I’m open to any suggestions about how we can do this.
I think the proposal for a format is already there.
Could we have some dedicated open space time slots for those “subjects that may not be missed”?
This would only require a planning wall & some dedicated space and time (+ a daily time slot for the planning process). The community is well equipped to run this process.
It would be useful to see which sessions have already been proposed, so that we can seek collaboration by ourselves - and are perhaps inspired to come up with more session ideas.
I will propose a presentation on the work we’re doing in the Netherlands with regards to using results data.
And I would like to have that in-depth-not-for-the-faint-hearted discussion about the use of the result element (in line with Reid Porter 's proposal for focused conversations).
