Hi Eva, I handle it in the usual way. There are however many people left, concentric circles, cordless handheld microphone that goes around. Before it leaves you, you can be as dramatic as you want to indicate that it must go all the way and back around to you within XXX amount of time, or else they have to be prepared that people will start leaving for trains, buses, planes and so on. I usually start with the outermost circle and work in, I ask them to not give their thank yous during this circle so that we dont have a repeat of 2000 people saying thank you. I do ask that if they have nothing to say right now, to simply pass the mike along. And if they do have something to say, a quick point about something that they appreciated or that they learned or that they will take away as an action to do as a result of having been in this meeting would be welcome. I have only ever run over by 15 minutes. And of course, you do need to leave some time for the closing circle. How much time do you leave?

OK, I give up :-) Sorry but it's faster this way - to ask you guys directly. My question that I was looking for the answer in the archives was and is - How do you do/ how to handle a closing circle when there is thousands of participants in an OS meeting. I mean it could take very loooooooooong....... I tried to remember the name for the 2108 participants OS but don't remember... How did you do that?
