Proposal text

Here's the matter we want to address together: click on each paragraph to add your votable contribution

Context

To support our 2026 activities, we want to run a fundraising event with both financial and visibility goals. We need to choose: (1) the format (light networking vs premium dinner vs content-driven workshop), (2) a date window that maximises attendance and sponsor availability, and (3) a venue aligned with the audience we want to engage.

This proposal uses mixed options coherently: the event format is the main ranked decision (with pros/cons and optional attachments), while dates and venues are separate multi-select vote groups so we can use timeline and map views effectively.

What we’re deciding

  • Which event format we approve
  • Which date options are compatible
  • Which Milan venues we prefer

How to participate

Rank the formats, then select all date options and venues that work for you. In comments: suggest potential sponsors/partners, estimate attendance, and note constraints (accessibility, capacity, A/V needs).

Voting options

Vote on the different proposed options to find the best solution together.
