#FACILITA2027: making and holding time
Milano, March 11 - 13, 2027
The conference
We are living through years in which everything happens fast. Clients are asking for shorter meetings and increasingly compressed processes—without lowering their expectations.
How do we approach these challenges? What strategies do we use to make the best use of time in facilitation?
#FACILITA2027 is dedicated to exploring our relationship with time: the time we have, the time that never seems enough, and the time we create.
- How have the agendas of our meetings changed?
- What do we do to bring rhythm, space, depth, and energy to the conversations that matter?
- How can we accelerate the work without compromising the quality of what we do?
- How can we help groups and organizations slow down?
Making and holding time is an invitation to exchange ideas, experiment, and reflect together on one of the most precious—and most contested—resources in our work as facilitators.
The conference will begin on the afternoon of Thursday, March 11, and will conclude by lunchtime on Saturday, March 13.
The venue
This year again, we will be hosted by Olinda, a no profit organisation active within the former Paolo Pini psychiatric hospital.
We will work in the unique spaces of TeatroLaCucina.
In the usual spirit of #FACILITA, meals and coffee breaks will be at participants’ own expense. A bar service will always be available inside the theater, and, on Friday at lunchtime, participants will be able to choose from a simple and convivial menu.
On Thursday and Friday evening, we look forward to welcoming you for an aperitivo offered by us.
For those who would like to have dinner together, it will also be possible to dine (at your own expense) at the Olinda restaurant.
Where to stay
Milan offers a wide range of accommodation options. TeatroLaCucina is close to the Affori FN stop on the yellow metro line (M3), making it easy to reach from anywhere in the city. For those looking for a simpler and more affordable option, we recommend the Olinda Hostel, which is happy to welcome participants of #FACILITA2027. Places are limited, so we encourage you to book as soon as possible by contacting the hostel directly (please specify that you will be attending the conference):
