Symposium+Coordination+Google+Doc+Index

Please note that this document is aimed primarily at supporting you to coordinate community and public symposium events which require some planning and a team approach (with fancy formal names like Production Manager). Many facilitators start off by running a simple home based symposium with a TV and some friends and family invited to attend. This document will be very useful no matter what size of event you are planning - just scale down the information to the size of event you are comfortable to host.
