I've experimented with community events of various sizes, from intimate gatherings of 5-10 people to larger events with 50+ attendees. Each scale seems to create different types of community connection experiences, and I'm trying to understand the trade-offs better.
What have you observed about how community size affects the quality and depth of connections formed during meaningful social gatherings? I'm particularly interested in whether there's an optimal size for creating authentic community experiences.
From my experience organizing community building events, smaller groups tend to foster more vulnerability and deeper sharing, while larger groups offer more diversity of perspectives and potential connections. But I'm curious if others have found different patterns in their memorable networking events.
How do you decide on the ideal size for different types of community engagement stories? What factors influence your choice between intimate authentic connection gatherings and larger-scale events?
