Co-op Congress
- We have a one hour session at Co-op Congress after the session on big tech, Natasha and Richard are working on this.
- Stall at Co-Congress, there was a discussion about how we should present CoTech.
- Ben to create a forum thread on practicalities for Co-op Congress, including the extra meeting we are going to have on the 18th June 2025.
Oxford Gathering
Some ideas / suggestions:
- Ben, a one day session and a evening social works well. Content suggestions, how to encourage retail co-ops to use CoTech co-ops.
- Nick, agreed that one day works best, suggested childcare.
- Tim, meeting old friends and new people worked well at the last one, structured and unstructured networking and lightning talks were good, we should have a principal 6 theme.
- Natasha, a day is good, makes it more accessible although it makes it tight and tiring. Having a structure rather than an un-conference worked for the last one. More action rather than discussion focused sessions.
- Tim, how we interact with Co-ops UK, how can we build on the relationship.
- Mikaela, could we invite Co-ops UK?
- Natasha, having a external event like Louise did in Glasgow could work.
