== What Are Self-Organized Circles or Booths? ==
''This is guide is for the [[2026 Global Gathering Programming|2026 Global Gathering]]''
We have reserved spaces in the venue that participants can use to organize a self-organized Circle or Booth. They allows for spontaneous conversations and collaboration to take place during the event. Circles spaces can be used for important conversations or coordination of collaborations, and booths can be used to showcase a project or expertise.
