B&W Jam [Facilitated sessions: Capped at 10 people per session]
The jams are where you 'do the work'. We call them B&W jams because the goal of the jams is to have things down in "black and white", this can a plan, a map, a list or even a sketch. It's all about making concrete and tangible progress. The jams are also jams because it is a space where you can bounce ideas, solicit suggestions from your fellow creatives.
