Hi all -
I laugh when I say 'quick answers' and realize I wrote so much. I type
very quickly ;o)
So I omitted some words - my recommendation to not do any full-form OS
is specifically about that 1.5 hours that happens on Day 1 of the
conference.
I am recommending it be used for energizing the group by doing Opening
Circle / agenda co-creation, and taking enough time for that
explanation, invitation and process.
It's not ideal but I have done it in conferences when I could not get
continuous-right-into-OS-sessions time that day on the program - and
folks showed up to the OS ready to work on their sessions, with just a
quick reminder of principles and law (or a full-on opening circle if
there are a lot of new people).
Cheers,
Lisa

My experience would recommend you do not have to do any full-form OS
- in fact, how could you in 1.5 hours? How could you do it justice?
Won't their passion for the agenda topics they raise in that Day 1
1.5 hours energize their interest in coming to those sessions later
in the conference? Won't your making the topics visible (such as
outside in the hallway as well as in the OS room) spark their
interest and continue the invitation and the passion? And then in
your OS room you can invite folks to come in and out (as they will
when it is a concurrent track in a traditional conference) and post
sessions for whenever on the OS schedule they can return to host or
attend that topic. No?
