Dear all, What are your thoughts on paying fees to attract high-profile attendees to an open space event?
Has anyone done it? Is there an impact on that person¹s ability to engage with open space once they¹re in the room? Is there an impact on the ability of non-paid attendees, if they know that some have been paid a fee to be in the room? Does it make a difference if the person who was paid a fee is high-profile within that community? I think I will have some funding that is supposed to pay for masterclasses on a course I¹ll be teaching this fall. I¹d prefer not to mark out a select few as masters¹, but instead offer a broad invitation to all who are experienced in the field, and hold regular open space events that they could attend alongside the students. Offering a fee to be in the room seems at odds with open space to me, but on the other hand, I do want to put the students in contact with those who have experience and could mentor, or act as elders, or just be momentary guides or sounding boards. Open space seems perfect to me as a way to let the students and the guests decide how they want to interact, but I do need to get people into the room in the first place. Thoughts on fee-paying as a way to do that? Many thanks :-) Jen x Jenifer Toksvig www.acompletelossforwords.com The Copenhagen Interpretation www.thecopenhageninterpretation.co.uk
