We’re excited to include a Gifting Table at the Ampersand Gathering—a space where attendees can share, swap, and pick up items that others no longer need. It's a fun and sustainable way to connect with others and give items a new life!
What Can You Bring?
You’re welcome to contribute items that are relevant to our creative and professional community, including:
- Art supplies (markers, pens, paper, sketchbooks).
- Tools and gadgets (projectors, cameras, other equipment in good condition).
- Books (on facilitation, design, creativity, coaching, etc.).
- Templates, posters, or materials you’ve created and no longer use.
- Other professional or creative tools that could benefit others.
How to Contribute
- Bring Your Items:
- Pack items you’d like to contribute and bring them with you to the event.
- Make sure everything is clean, in good condition, and ready to use.
- Check-In at the Gifting Table:
- On arrival, find the Gifting Table (location will be shared at registration).
- Label Your Items (Optional):
- If your item needs instructions or context, add a note or label.
- Example: "For large-scale graphic recording" or "Best for dry-erase markers."
How to Swap or Take Items
- Browse the table at any time during the event.
- If you see something you like, take it—no need to ask!
- If you’re contributing items, feel free to also take items that interest you.
