The Ministry of Science and Technology in Delhi organised the Evolution Workshop, a gathering designed to foster innovation and collaboration within the scientific community. But before the ideas could flow, the organisers faced some logistical hurdles.
Challenges of Traditional Workshop Model
The Evolution Workshop, designed to spark innovation and collaboration within India's scientific community, faced some roadblocks due to the traditional workshop model's reliance on paper. Here's how:
Printing and Distributing Challenges
Creating and distributing paper schedules for multi-day events is a time-consuming and resource-intensive task.This process is not only time-consuming for organisers, but is also expensive. Plus, there's always the risk of running out of copies or attendees losing their paper schedules, leading to confusion and missed sessions.
Multiple PDFs and Uneven Information
Workshops often involve multiple sessions with their own handouts. Paper-based distribution led to confusion and attendees missing important details. Uneven distribution also occurred when some attendees forget to download the materials or have trouble accessing them.
Paper Waste
The reliance on paper schedules, handouts, and business cards created a significant amount of waste. It's not environmentally friendly and was a hassle for attendees to manage and dispose of.
Networking Challenges
Swapping paper business cards felt outdated and impersonal. The process itself was awkward, especially for introverts or first-time attendees. Plus, keeping track of a stack of business cards can be difficult, and chances are some valuable connections get lost in the shuffle.
