Control The Room is a monthly meetup focused on helping facilitators hone their craft to help improve the quality of meetings. Originally named Austin Design Sprint, based on our Design Sprint method which exposed us to new ways of meeting. In addition to supporting GV Design Sprint enthusiasts, we present and share many different methodologies, including Liberating Structures, Game Storming, Thinking Wrong, MG Taylor, Improv, and much more.

Each Thursday we rotate between highlighting practitioners sharing case studies with tips and tricks, facilitation practice where you can get hands-on with tools for better meetings, and a deep dive skill-building workshops.

We’re honored to be part of the Google Global Sprint Chapter program that aims to build and foster a Design Sprint community by providing awareness, resources, and connecting people.
