Introduction

Brief

As we celebrated the first anniversary of the Notion Colombia Community, we aimed to create a completely different type of event.

Based on the insights of previous meetups, we faced the challenge of hosting a more dynamic and interactive event that could be fun for both experts and beginners using Notion.

The challenge

Is it possible to learn Notion without a computer or device? 🤔 We wanted to explore Notion without screens, learning in a practical and fun way.

The outcome

The first edition of Notionopoly! A 2-hour event packed with fun interactive games, short talks, and prizes, open to everyone from beginners to experts.

Design Process

Discovery

Insights from past events

Based on the polls we conducted, we found that over 70% of the participants in community events have a basic understanding of Notion. For this event, we aim to provide them with practical knowledge of Notion, so they can learn more and not just get inspired.

Key Insights to Start Ideating

• The event should be educational.
• The approach should be less aspirational and more practical and didactic.
• The premise is: Notion is learned by doing.
• Both experts and beginners using Notion could attend.
• Hosting the event in Bogota and Medellin at the exact time with the same structure.

Brainstorming

After understanding the challenge and finding the right key insights for the event, we started ideating how we could structure a completely new type of event.
