Finding the right venue
The space you choose sets the tone for the entire gathering. Ideally, it should feel intimate, welcoming, and grounded.
Prioritise free or very low-cost spaces where hosting our events creates mutual benefit for both us and the venue. This is about activism, action and making a change. Commercial exchanges and money tend to take away from that energy and are not sustainable as we scale. The goal is to eventually self-finance their own space through running network nodes.
Look for venues that allow for eye contact, natural conversation, and a sense of shared space, not loud, overly corporate, or sterile environments. It should be a quiet place where everyone can sit down and talk without distractions.
In traditional political campaigns, gatherings like this might be hosted in a volunteer’s home. While that’s not expected here, it’s a useful reference point when choosing a welcoming, informal location.
The Logos aesthetic is intentionally minimalist and functional. Stripping away commercial polish lets the message speak for itself, without distraction or distortion. This also helps when looking for a suitable space.
Positive space examples:
When possible, avoid corporate venues like this:
Setting Up the Space
Arriving early gives you time to shape the environment. Rearrange furniture to encourage circular seating or tight clusters.
Set out a few objects that symbolise the Logos mission e.g. zines, printed symbols such as the 3D printed Codex cube, art, or community artefacts.
