River City Labs Facilitator Training

Join us for a two-day workshop for startup community leaders and facilitators to share and learn skills, knowledge and best practice for organising, facilitating, and delivering startup-related events and programs.  From program design and delivery to venue selection, facilitation and presentation styles, through to stakeholder engagement and community building, this 2 day workshop is designed to build skill sets and knowledge for event and program facilitation and delivery. Day 1 - The focus of day one is on event facilitation, including bigger events such as Startup Weekends and Hackathons, through to smaller events such as demo days, panel events, and pitch competitions. Day 2 - Day two is focused on program facilitation and deep level insights into program design, including pre-accelerators, accelerators, and international missions. The workshop will be led by Aaron Birkby CEO, Startup Catalyst and one of Australia's hardest working Startup Weekend and Corporate Hackathon Facilitators and Peta Ellis CEO of River City Labs who has also facilitated multiple events, pre-accelerator programs.  Both are willing to share their tips, tricks and learnings for the benefit of future facilitators. Both are willing to share their tips tricks and learnings with the view of enabling more people to step into facilitation roles as the ecosystem grows and the demand for experienced event and program leaders grows.
