I really liked the Rockefeller Gather Guide; the updated Rockefeller Foundation Convening Design Guide version has more on virtual events and is shorter (24 pages), so it’s a fine place to start, but the older Gather: The Art and Science of Effective Convening is longer (85 pages) and as a result has more worksheets and activity ideas. I can’t easily find a PDF online for the older version but happy to share over DM.
