I'm doing an Open Space in a few weeks that has a few twists (don't they all?) and would appreciate your thoughts.
The setting is a 4-day conference of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. The Open Space is on the last 2 days. The first twist is that the OST event isn't for the whole conference. It is a track of the conference on a particular topic (Building a Pattern Language of Living Communication). It won't be closed in any way; anyone can come and go. It does have it's own space and will run on it's own schedule. It's just that other conference sessions will be happening around it. First question -- has anyone done this? Any advice? The second twist is that the closing circle is envisioned as the conference closing. This means that it will include not just the people who have been in the OST event but everyone who attended the conference. Again, anyone have experience with something like this? Any insights would be most appreciated!
