Being a jammer is simple, you just need to register for the event and wait for our reply. We provide a general Eventbrite account, that local jams can use, as a registration tool for participants as jammers. Jammers register with name and expertise, and will be challenged to bring participants from the community they design for.

To start, you need a physical space to comfortably seat participants – a local Global Goals Jam has 15 up to 30 jammers.

1. Reliable Internet access (either wired or wireless) for all participants
2. Access to methods tools and templates
3. Local IT support in case of problems with computers or internet connectivity

5. Coffee, tea and beverages & easy access to food
6. Security

The Global Goals Jam platform also provides you with methods, templates and tools to organize your local event, hands-on guidance before & during the even.

You will need some time to prepare the jam, to recruit jammers, find a venue and receive the materials. For the first Global Goals Jam in 2016, the deadline to organize a local Global Goals Jam is set on August 25th.

The Global Goals Jam has no commercial purpose. The local organizers are not allowed to use the Global Goals Jam for commercial purposes. Local jam organizers are allowed to ask a registration fee to the jammers in order to cover organization expenses such as materials, food, drinks and security.

Yes! This is one of the main goals of the Global Goals Jam. We want to share intermediate results with the world, so others can build upon all those small steps that we’ve made. Teams are responsible to document their process and output. They use the Global Goals Jam digital platform, so set their goals, and document their process and output.

Feel free to share pics and vids through your channels, then tag this material with #globalgoalsjam. Photo’s and Video’s will be harvested, to showcase online and in the Expo Booth we are putting together at the main event in New York. We will provide all locations with a Local Global Goals Jam logo and bumper video to give the pics and vids some context.

We use Slack to communicate with each other day-to-day and e-mails for relevant updates.

Check your local partners how they can be involved. Since it might be complex for partners to sponsor events financially, it might help to ask them to sponsor a part of the event. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Departments of multinationals, Universities or local SME’s may be useful partners to approach.
