We ask you to be respectful of one another and be mindful of the different needs there will be in the space. We have taken care to make the event as inclusive as possible and have created a Care Charter 📜 for our community of practice.

The event will feature a version of an Open Space, where you can move between conversations as you like across the course of an hour. The following suggested topics have been drawn from the community across the last month. We have kept space for two more topics to be selected on the day by attendees. We will explain how to propose a topic during the event.
