Mike-- In working with the managers of an organization as we plan for the Open Space, I encourage them to be full participants in the Open Space, "on an equal basis with everyone else." Being away from their normal workplace helps, and I sometimes encourage everyone to wear "casual, comfortable clothes," which eliminates some of the visible signs of rank. But the self-organizing nature of Open Space takes care of most of the issues of rank--it takes people out of their normal context.
Congratulations on what sounds like a great event!
