Hi Oscar: I have used that format and found it very effective. After sitting and listening to speakers for several hours, people are usually quite pumped up (either excited or irritated), very ready to share their own ideas and have conversations, and grateful for the opportunity.
An hour might be a bit long for the intro -- but maybe you need to leave time for people to arrive late from lunch. And if the conference doesn't need a report, you might do away with notes altogether and just focus on having good conversations.

Hi All! I'm going to facilite a 3 hours discussion session as the last part of a 1-day conference here in Sweden. I wanted to make it a 1-day OS meeting, but now there will be keynote speakers before lunch (10-13), and discussions after lunch (14-17). Is it worth trying a 3 hours OS, or should I try something else? I'm thinking of a pretty tight schedule with a 1-hour opening session, 2 x 45 min breakouts and 20 min to finish. No printed proceedings, just photocopies of breakout notes. Some feedback is very much appreciated!
