SoCraTes is a Training day and two days of Open Space - everybody gathering in the same room and creating the schedule for the day.
Whether hands-on, discussions, or the proposal to learn a new topic, our attendees create the agenda and decide what happens.
We're selling our tickets at cost and they include accomodation and meals. First lottery draw on May 1st! Sign up today at www.socrates-conference.de
Be prepared to be surprised 🥳 #socrates26
So if you’re in Europe (or going to be), there’s a ticket lottery (for the open space days), which (i think) means apply *and* tell everyone, and be thrilled for everyone who gets to go :)

Granted I'm ranting about elixir a lot, but it's so much fun to work on the SoCraTes lottery monolith. Especially the modeling is so much fun and so engaging, it might be worth a session by itself.
Some musings: this will be the first time we're modeling the rooms themselves as entities, not exactly the physical room (that assignment can only happen by the hotel), but a room that can be designated for a number of occupants matching the ticket. This will make double bookings impossible, and maybe even allow us to integrate with the hotel PMS.
Or that an application translates into a ticket, which can be returned, voided, expire, etc. We will be able to create tickets for trainers, account for family joining etc.
A common misunderstanding is that psychological safety is about feeling comfortable. It is not. It is about feeling safe enough to try things out and speak up. And sometimes, it is about feeling safe enough to be uncomfortable.
We are beyond excited to announce that Gitte Klitgaard is joining us for training day. A most well-known name in the Agile and Craft communities for years, Gitte will join us for a workshop about Psychological Safety.
