How do you attract participation at D&D events?

One of our members, Larry Schooler, began a great conversation on the NCDD Discussion list this morning by asking simply “How do you attract participation at in-person dialogue and deliberation events? What works?”

We’ve already gotten a slew of thoughtful responses on the listserv, and I’m going to be sharing them via the comments below so those not on the list can benefit from NCDDers’ know-how as well!

Larry is the City of Austin’s Community Engagement Consultant, and he’s also the President-elect of IAP2-USA. Larry served on the planning team that organized NCDD’s regional event in Austin in 2010.
