An in-person EventStorming session is an EventStorming workshop conducted with participants sharing the same physical location.
An in-person EventStorming session brings all participants into the same physical space. This enables parallel conversations and body-language cues, but demands substantial coordination. section 7.4.2
The format creates practical trade-offs:
Organizations may need to coordinate everyone’s travel and availability. section 7.4.2
Multiple workshops often need to be concentrated into a short period while participants are together. section 7.4.2
Remote sessions remove the shared-space constraint and can instead run as shorter sessions over weeks or months. section 7.4.2
How Architecture Modernization: Socio-technical alignment of software, strategy, and structure covers it
How deep it goes
Defines the format and its coordination trade-offs, but does not detail an EventStorming workshop procedure.
Examples
Contrasts compressed in-person workshops with remote two-to-four-hour sessions distributed across weeks or months.
What you can do after
Evaluate EventStorming formats by weighing physical coordination against richer real-time interaction.
How it connects
Connects EventStorming with remote workshops, parallel conversations, body language, and virtual whiteboard tools.
remote EventStorming sessioncontrasts with · A remote EventStorming session is an EventStorming workshop conducted through online communication and collaboration tools rather than shared physical space.
