I also as a rule have the whole agenda made on day I, providing an opportunity thereafter to add/change/remove. However if I only have one and a half day, (or a lunch-to lunch meeting), I only ask for topics for day one on the first day, and then on day 2 ask to add the most important topics that are missing (which as a rule produces a couple, sometimes
topics which were discusssed but not under that title.

I also find the method Michael Herman once suggested a good one, asking participants to post those topics they would
like to take forward.

My experience is that not many or no new topics are raised on the second day (I have always invited participants to post for both days in multi-day events). Sometimes, when it was asked for, I´ve read what topics are on the newswall. How do you invite the morning of the second day? I combine it with morning news without saying too much.
Best regards

I always invite people to post issues for the duration of the OS all on the first day – and then as Tree says, opportunity is briefly provided on the 2nd morning to add, change, or remove issues. The reason I think getting the whole thing up on the first day is useful is that way everybody gets a good picture of the real estate, even if it is going to change. If you post issues on a day by day basis, you tend to get a whole mess on the first day and much less on the second. Could lead to a frantic first day and a boring second.

During a multi-day open space, there is a morning circle on each successive day, Frank.  The OS facilitator reviews the principles and the law and opens the marketplace anew each morning.  At that point, people can create an entirely new agenda or they can add new topics/sessions.  Sometimes people decide to cancel a session they had posted previously on  or they decide to continue sessions that were juicy from the first day.  It's open space.

You are right, Frank, conversations that happen on the first day could -- and often do -- alter what people think is important to talk about on following days.

My friend and I were just discussing the merrits of creating the agenda on a day by day basis vs creating the whole agenda for an event on the first day. The idea was that the conversations that happen on the first day could radically alter what people think is important to talk about on following days. Any thoughts or experiences?



Peace,
