Systems Exchange Cafés

The Systems Exchange Cafés offer an informal virtual gathering place for INCOSE members and the broader public to explore a chosen topic, test ideas, and engage in rich discussions. Whether you’re seeking fresh perspectives or simply seeking a space to chat, these cafés provide an open, collaborative forum for meaningful conversations.

A Community Built on Connection 

Launched in June 2020 to foster global engagement during a challenging time, the Systems Exchange Cafés were designed across multiple time zones for accessibility. Thanks to the dedication of volunteers for the many engaging discussions. Moving forward, this initiative has evolved into an on-demand model, empowering INCOSE members to create their own conversations that matter. 

Guidelines for a Great Café Experience 

To keep discussions open, engaging, and respectful, we ask all hosts and participants to follow these principles: 

☕ Open to all – You don’t have to be an INCOSE member to join. 
☕ Confidentiality matters – Sessions are not recorded, and attribution outside the café should be avoided. 
☕ Inclusive, informed discussions – Topics should encourage diverse perspectives and meaningful exchange. 
☕ Respectful dialogue – Debate is welcome, but mutual respect is essential. 
☕ Active listening & engagement – Invite others to share their ideas and use the Zoom chat for deeper conversations.
