That means it's totally expected for people to - Run out of things to talk about *Miss a social beat - Have inconsistent eye contact Or whatever else you might be working on This is your place to experiment, by "messing up" and having a chance to try again (and again). Format *Rounds of 8 minute one-on-one conversations. - You pick who you want to talk to each round, or let someone pick you. *Walk up to them and say "Hi" to start the round. Ways to Play There are three main ways to participate in the event - Structured - walk up and invite them to pick a conversation card to discuss. *Supported - walk up and try to find something to talk about. Use the cards as backup if you hit a dead end. - Open ended - don't use the cards.
