Gathering Design Sprint — BoardingPass
A four-week cohort for people who bring others together. Leave with a plan you can run, and a method you'll use for every gathering after. We treat the design choices we make as instinct. Something a good host just has a feel for. But the things that make a gathering land, that make people feel they belong, that pull them back? They aren't magic. They're a craft, with core principles that hold whether you're planning a dinner party for six or a recurring event for two hundred. Most of us never get to name any of it. We move fast, trust our gut, and hope the moment we were counting on lands. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't quite, and we can't say why, and there's no time to work it out before the next one. Get under the tidy purpose to the real, emotional why, and get clear on exactly who you're designing for. Shape the experience in blocks: what has to happen, what can flex, and where the magic goes. Then design the pre-experience, the moments that set the tone before it begins
