It’s interesting how the layout and timing of an event can subtly steer who talks to whom, who feels included, and even what conversations happen. If you adjust the flow—say, give people more unstructured time or pair them in small, rotating groups—you’ll see a shift in how people connect. It’s a small tweak, but the ripple in social interaction can be surprisingly big.

It will be interesting to see how the rotation influences the dynamics. Keep an eye on who naturally initiates conversations and whether anyone feels left out as the groups shift. A quick debrief after each session could reveal patterns you might not notice at first. Good luck.
