When everything is organized, the Caf\u00e9 Facilitator is the one in charge in posing the questions or themes for rounds of conversation and make sure that the question is visible to everyone on the overhead, <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2015\/03\/meetings-when-to-present-and-when-to-converse\">flipchart<\/a>, or on cards at each table.&nbsp; Playing a vital role in World Caf\u00e9 preparation and actual event, the Caf\u00e9 Facilitator can make the difference between an interesting conversation and a breakthrough thinking.<\/li><li><strong>&nbsp;The World Caf\u00e9 Event.<\/strong> This is your main event.
