Running a World Café format with EchoSphere
How to combine the classic World Café methodology with live AI transcription to keep insights flowing as participants rotate tables.
World Café thrives on cross-pollination: participants move between tables and carry ideas with them. EchoSphere makes the invisible part - what was actually said at each table - visible across rounds.
Keep the table, change the people
In a classic World Café the topic stays with the table while participants rotate. Configure each table in EchoSphere with the table's question so the AI ties every round to the right theme - not the people who happen to be sitting there.
Use the table host as continuity
The table host stays put and briefs new arrivals on what the previous group concluded. Combine this with EchoSphere's per-round summary on screen so the host always has the latest insights to share.
Cross-table harvest at the end
After the last round, generate a session-wide summary. EchoSphere identifies recurring themes across all tables and highlights where opinions diverged - exactly the harvest moment a World Café aims for.
