Hi Melody, I totally understand that one space hosting an event for a week is difficult. We suggest hosting a week because most cities have multiple spaces that operate, and a week provides a good amount of time for each space to host an open house to invite the public in. You need one ³organizing² community member, space owner or space manager to help coordinate the events for each city.
We also need platform partners like yourself, please drop me an email directly, and lets chat about collaborating. Anyone lurking in the group and wants to engage (especially sponsors $$), in kind trades, volunteers, etc, please reach out, my wife is pregnant, and I can really use some help organizing this years events.
