Doug, Some folk have already given you a few good suggestions re the format for the day and I doubt I can add to that. My thoughts are about lunch. If this is possible, we had an open space day where lunch was able to be taken from a central serving point to anyplace else..it was a light lunch like sandwiches but you could do it for other things such as a curry or something similar.
The benefit was that the oepnspacers could keep on going with their discussions or fit another one in if time is an issue, which it may well be if you're trying to get something done in 5 hours. Let the lunch come to the breakout rooms rather than stop for lunch. Either way, Im sure it will be successful. Oh, and I agree with the person who said that folks dont like space being closed by having a speaker in the middle. I did that once and everyone went home after the speaker had finished..the space had been closed..and when it's over, it's over. Good luck..
