Organising events in Newspeak Hall is one of the great perks of studying at Newspeak House; a fully equipped event space that holds up to ~100 people. It's hosted thousands of events for the college, everything from meetups to conferences, unconferences, dinners, hackathons, parties, exhibitions, lectures, co-working, debates, book launches, concerts, world cafes, fishbowls, screenings, workshops, and roundtables.
If you're interested in designing something together, I am happy to offer advice and support with event design, facilitation, logistics, catering, promotion, community strategy, and almost anything else you might need. Don’t worry if you don’t have a very clear idea of what you’d like to do yet - we can figure that out together.
I also manage the diary of the hall; it's a busy programme of community events, private hires, and events organised by fellows and faculty. As Fellowship Candidates, you will book dates through your agent. You might not be able to secure a specific exact date, but usually we can find a slot. Typically single day events are booked around a month in advance.
Finally, events should always be considered as part of a wider community strategy. I've written a short guide on how I typically approach this, though community-building is a fast-moving field with many open questions...
