Hello Go players,

We are returning to Vashon Island's Japan Festival this August 29th. I need 3-4 volunteers to help teach attendees the game of Go and to help with general set up. The event runs from 1pm to 5pm but given travel and need to ferry, there will be carpooling offer with free ferry ride. This will require you to meet at the Seattle Go Center at 9am and expect to get back around 7pm. If you have your own plan for arriving at the event, please let me know about them and plan to arrive at the event at 1pm and stay till 5pm.


Outside the travel issues, this is a very fun smaller event at a farmhouse with lots of fun little booths and some Japanese festival food.

If you can help out or like to learn more about this event or have questions, please email me.

[Seattle Go Center] Seattle Go Congress Update -- Still Looking for Promotional Person

9:02 AM |

So, yay, Seattle will host the Go Congress 16-25 JUL 2027 at the SeaTac Hilton.  Many deep thanks to people who volunteered already to direct the congress, manage website updates, account for money and pay bills, and logo design!!  The AGA signed contracts, and everything has been official for a few months now.

The last important role we would still like to find someone (or a pair of people) to own is "marketing" the Go Congress, which entails messaging, promoting, and reaching out to community from now until JUL 2027.  This is largely the cadence of updates and exciting reminders via the EJournal to keep the congress on folks minds and encourage attendance.

Here's a draft slide deck Ken and Tony will be presenting in Boston at this years Go Congress to announce next year in Seattle: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15zCo_AdEkpqACwrliWrT6hinbOgcBocrw4m_U6rZGOM/edit?usp=sharing

The deck is a short and cool reminder of all the things that attract people to Seattle and help make a congress in Seattle extra fun and exciting.  There's a lot a marketing person can easily reach out and post about every couple of months and more often next spring.  You can get as creative as you like, maybe a Mox Boarding House setup at the congress on a day off or afternoon/evening for people to mix up their game playing.  One person wants to host an AI development/usage activity/workshop/hackathon (nothing definite yet), but another idea you could help promote.

If you or you and a friend are willing to help Ken and Tony and be the cheerleaders for a Go Congress in Seattle, please let me know.  I'll connect you to Ken and Tony and our Slack organizing hub.

Thanks!!
Bill
