- Embassy Suites in Burlingame, CA.
General Format
A couple talks (Patri, maybe Peter, maybe Wayne), and a bunch of workshops.
Workshops
Each workshop has a topic, like "How do we transport people and stuff between seasteads and land?". One person serves as the facilitator, there is a brief presentation on the topic, why it is hard, maybe some standard solutions, and then participants break up into small groups to brainstorm and research their solutions. Then they take turns presenting their solutions, and put together a final set of recommendations.
