Design Sprint | June 2026
Four weeks. One gathering you're actually planning. A real design process, with us.
A four-week cohort sprint where you bring a real gathering you're designing, an offsite, a community launch, an onboarding redesign, an annual conference, a member program reset, and we go through the design process with you, week by week.
Four live calls. Office hours in between. Async work that's actually useful (not homework). A cohort small enough that we can see your work up close.
This isn't a brainstorm. It's a structured design process adapted from experience design, facilitation, and belonging research. You leave with documented decisions, not just new ideas.
How it runs
Week 1 — Discovery. Before we touch design: stakeholder interviews, a read of what you're actually designing for, and a working brief you'll use through the rest of the sprint.
Week 2 — Map. We map your gathering moment by moment — from first contact through the day after. Where does energy drop? Where does connection fail? Where are the moments you're not designing yet?
Week 3 — Design. We prototype new approaches to the moments that matter most — orientation, participation, return — and pressure-test them with the cohort.
Week 4 — Document + launch. Every decision is documented. You leave with a clear plan, an owner for each next step, and a follow-up call thirty days out to check on implementation.
In between live calls, you'll have office hours with BoardingPass Founder Christina Hug, async prompts and templates, and a small group working on their own gatherings alongside you.
What you bring
A real gathering you're planning. The willingness to share it openly with a small group. A few hours each week, for the live call, office hours if you want them, and async work in between.
What you leave with
A designed gathering, not a folder of theory.
A documented plan with decisions, owners, and timelines you can hand to your team.
The Belonging Triangle and the rest of our frameworks — the same ones that'll work on the next gathering, and the one after that.
A small group of people who've seen your work up close and can be a sounding board long after the sprint is over.
Who it's for
Internal culture and People teams designing offsites, kickoffs, and all-hands
Community managers and program leads resetting a community that's lost its energy
Event producers and conference organizers tired of programming around a stale format
Founders building member experiences from scratch
Nonprofit program directors who want their programs to land harder
You don't need to be an experienced facilitator. You need a gathering you're actually planning, and the willingness to look at it with a new lens.
