Ground Rules for NTC Salon Sessions

NTC Salons are not your typical presentation but a peer-sharing session. Come prepared to circle the chairs, rock the flip charts, and meet your community, and remember: Real Techies Talk to Each Other. Salons are moderated by someone with topical knowledge with a set description and takeaways. In order to facilitate good conversation and learning, you agree to the following rules when you join an NTC Salon Session:

1. Respect all participants & their opinions
2. Bring your problems and your solutions. Be considerate of the amount of time you are speaking to leave space for all voices to be hears.
3. Listen to the moderator; it is his/her job to facilitate and move the group along toward an agreed upon goal (session takeaways), keeping both the conversation and overall process on topic.
4. Consultants that work in the topical area of each Salon are welcome participants, and are encouraged to come. However, the NTC Salons are not client recruiting grounds, and you are expected to share your knowledge and expertise and not simply tell someone that you or your company can provide a solution.
