OST for 500 in 2 days

[Jeff Aitken]

Francesca and I are planning an OST conference, and seek counsel from you
who have facilitated a two-day event for 500 persons.

This is a statewide network of organizations which support school readiness
and school success for young people. Two years ago a two-day conference
(not OST) generated four priority theme recommendations for changes in
public policy. This time, the desire is to upgrade the policy
recommendations, plus encourage collaborative action commitments among
organizations.

If you had two full days, starting with a keynote speaker (!) and wishing
such outcomes, how would you design it, based on your experience with a
large group like this? We are thinking about theme, proceedings,
prioritization, action planning, closure -- and need to be realistic about
the time available.

Many blessings
Jeff
