The format reserved for our experts is that of “Office Hours”.
Office Hours are half-day slots during which an expert meets our entrepreneurs in one-to-one face-to-face meetings. Office Hours can take place from Monday to Friday in the following slots : 09:30am - 12:30pm or 02:30pm-05:30pm. Within these three-hour slots, four formats are possible (30-min meetings, 45-min meetings, 1-hour meetings, and 2-hour+ sessions), and we are testing new ones according to your preferences.
Workshops are one to few events where an expert/speaker delivers a kind of master class to several founders or employees. It usually lasts around 2 hours and should definitely include a real cases and a Q&A session. The staff is organizing such events according to the whole experts community experience and skills, but feel free to propose us some workshop ideas and we'll be glad to organize them with you.
Some of the workshops can be opened to the whole Station F ecosystem for the needs of our partnership with Station F. No worries, it's only a bigger and more diverse audience. 👀
