Dear Gijs,
in my active os facilitation days (until 2012) I published detailed cost
estimates. Looking at this one (in German)
http://www.meine-openspace-praxis.de/Dateien/18-Kosten-3Tage-130TN.pdf
travelling costs did not show up. That had to do with the nature of the
event. It took place in Berlin, so no travel costs for me. Most
participants lived and worked in Berlin. Those from outside had their
travel expenses paid by their organisations or they paid for them
personally.
Looking at the sheet, I do see a number of items that were universal:
- The omnipresent buffet (Pausenloses Pausenbüffet) and the rent for the
space (Raummiete) made up about one third of the cost
- The costs for the facilitation team, about one third of total cost
-The remaining third went for management of the event, Material,
Planning Session, Next Meeting, advertising and miscellanious items
Looking at all of this it seems that real life os might cost more than
virtual.
After 2012 until today, I was frequently contacted for collegiate advice
or counselling (no wonder because the 2385 facilitators that took part
in os-trainings I was involved in had "lifelong free consulting"). So, I
was honored to be in touch with the trade.
One of the feedbacks I got is that an online version of a Planning
Sessions for an os event is acceptable. Participants of those online
Planning Sessions gave similar feedbacks that we regularly received
after real life Planning Sessions, such as "never experienced a meeting
as this one with such concrete outcomes in such a short time... and it
was fun...". Of course, Planning Sessions in itself are not os-events...
they do however produce only stuff that the participants themselves
craft and cast into action.
Has anyone had the chance to get feedback from participants that
experienced both real life and digital os events? Especially the
experience of a full fledged 3-day event real life versus online?
Greetings from Berlin
