In several months, we will be sharing a call for proposals where approved participants can submit ideas for Circles, Meetups, and Booths. In response to your feedback, more skillshares will be included in the 2026 event programming.
== '''The Format''' ==
'''Circles''', or collaborative discussions that draw out collective wisdom, facilitate brainstorming, or help problem-solve around challenges.
'''Booths''' allow projects to use one of the venue’s permanent structures to showcase their work, demo a tool, run a skillshare, or have one-to-one conversations with participants.
'''Meetups''' are designed to gather participants who share a commonality or interest in a more informal setting. While Team CommUNITY will be coordinating a select number of topical and regional networking meetups, participants will be provided with tools to self-organize their own meetups.
'''Villages:''' In some cases, we will be grouping Circles and Booths into Villages, which are community-led hubs focused on specific themes, regions or areas of practices. In the past, organizations and networks have hosted villages centered on their core work, shared challenges, or regional priorities.
