*** Goals ***
1. Raise awareness and experience the benefits of EventStorming in a startup or a business.
2. Create a network of EventStormers to empower its use and share experiences.
3. EventStorming as a catalyst and entry point to embrace Domain-Driven Design in your organization.

*** Purpose ***
Spread EventStorming practice to startups, businesses and all types of organisations.

*** Is this Meetup for you? ***
The short answer is almost certainly yes.
The long answer is that EventStorming has different levels of application and formats thus targets a wide variety of audience and situations. Since it can be applied to any organization, lines of business or business processes it implies tons of job roles or positions coming from different fields and disciplines.
For example: startup founders, stakeholders, project managers, product owners, engineers, C-levels, digital business owners, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, business analysts, designers, ... and so forth. In summary any employee in an organisation who cares about the business processes, their particular point of view and part of responsibility, is curious and open-minded towards the big picture of the organisation and invest and search how to continuously improve and bring value to the organisation. The organisation culture, hierarchy or structure in departments or multidisciplinary teams (marketing, sales, accounting, product development, IT, business development, UX, legal, QA, ...) should not be a constraint to apply EventStorming.

• What is EventStorming?
EventStorming is a convenient tool (not the goal) performed in a workshop format with some key ingredients: 1. invite the right people, 2. provide the illusion of an unlimited modelling space and 3. one facilitator in charge of providing guidance and making sure everything runs smoothly. It has different levels of application and formats. The process of running the workshop and the outcomes achieved at the end provides so much value for the organisation that should be the trigger for the next actions to take.

(My personal opinion in terms of startup jargon and borrowing the words introduced in the “Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey Moore”, the state of the art of EventStorming in 2019 is located between the last stage of innovators and the first one of early adopters.)

*** Format ***
1. Talk (related to EventStorming)   + Questions and Answers + Networking
2. Applying EventStorming. Let us know your business or startup domain (it could even be an idea or fictitious) in advance sending your proposal filling out this open form: http://bit.ly/business-startup-domain
Then during the Meetup we will work together and experiment modelling it with EventStorming to achieve your initially intended purpose.
3. Informal gathering to share experiences.
