Hi Michael! Thanks for your thoughts. How will we...is quite a difference. A little more background on one of the conferences: The conference last from lunch to lunch. The theme is something like: Issues & opportunities for employers in X-region to find workers / as well as - jobseekers to find employment. There are about 10 partners in the arrangement: local authorities, "housing-companies" and "employer-organizations". The invitation will be to these parties as well as unemployed persons in this suburb. In total about 200 persons. What I mean by preparing support is that some of the issues will demand resources to accomplish and the stakeholders shall be prepared to take this responsibility. I think that this will be easier if they have had a chance to think it over before the actual os. This is not to say that they will also do the job since we do have these committed conveners. I will work harder to make clear that this preparation is very important to the outcome and see if they are willing to invest more time. Maybe they are afraid of "free time" (thanks, Ralph) Greetings Thomas

What format is chosen for the 1 day conference? It sounds as if it is not os. If it were, the support question would be dealt with simultaneously. Perhaps the issue of why so little time for the process question should be raised, where is the energy, passion, responsibility?
