About this FieldTrip

We all set out to design and build products that would change the world, and guess what? We did it! The world has changed. But is it for the better?

From crypto to generative AI, self-driving cars to virtual reality headsets. We’ve found ourselves asking difficult questions about the impact of our creations: is my product being used for malicious purposes? Are users safe from harassment and propaganda on my platform? What can I do to make sure that my product is accessible to all people?

In this new era of rapidly changing tech, our goal is to help designers, developers, product managers, and executives ask (and answer) these questions before their products cause any unintentional harm.

✨WHAT TO EXPECT

✔️ During this FieldTrip, we’ll explore the main ethical areas all product people should factor in to their decisions, and through hands-on and interactive exercises we’ll explore how practical product changes can lead to positive impact on users and society at large.

❤️ This FieldTrip Includes Optional Breakout Rooms

Breakout rooms on FieldTrips are an opportunity to create meaningful connections with participants from around the world. If you do not feel like joining one for any reason, no worries! We’ll always make sure you have something to do introspectively in the main room.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
