Judy this looks great. And of course, I am coming! But I wasn't quite sure
how to take care of the particulars, such as registration and payment. Do we
send it back by mail? Can we pay by credit card? Other? Also, I assume that
as in the past the "fee" is on a sliding scale so that folks who have the
need, but not the where-with-all can still come? And if so, what would that
scale be? $100-300???

Subject: 13th Annual OSonOS -- Halifax Bound
Hello all on the OSList -- here is the invitation -- formatting is better on
the website (www.openspacehalifax.ca)
The Excitement Begins -- we have an eager team here in Halifax!!
13th Annual International Open Space on Open Space
Embracing Chaos and Change in the Knowledge Economy
www.openspacehalifax.ca
August 4th to 6th, join organizational development consultants,
facilitators, human resource professionals, business, community, educators
and government leaders as we gather for an exploration of transformative
leadership and change, professionally and personally in using Open Space
Technology.
In our two and one-half day gathering, attendees will gain insight from
those who stimulate International debate around self-organization and
leadership in organizations and communities. Using Open Space Technology
and attracting those who have established practices using Open Space
Technology and those new to the methodology, the experts in the room are the
participants who know what we have to offer and share in this exploration.
Note: learning is enhanced with prior experience of OST.
Have you ever experienced the capacity of a group to develop high levels of
trust and productivity in just a few minutes? Or perhaps you've had the
opposite experience where, regardless of the intention or effort invested, a
group feels like the most inefficient, fragmented, or downright hostile
place you've ever been?
Are you interested in.
Promoting excellence
Increasing bottom line by enhancing innovation
Building a collaborative workplace
Being inspired to achieve your best
Opening up communication channels
Strengthening leadership
If you said "yes" to any of the above questions, dare to gather in
Halifax
from August 4 - 6, 2005.

What has it been? What is it now?
Where can it lead us next? Where are our growing edges?
What have we learned? And what is now possible?
How can OST work with your people, in your organization?
How can OST help address your most important strategic and operating issues?
These are just some of the questions that come to mind as we consider all of
the Issues and Opportunities for Opening Space in organizations and
communities. Please join us with your own specific questions, issues and
ideas - and benefit from the International expertise in the room!
Today's highly competitive business environment demands that individuals and
organizations are able to navigate, perform and succeed at higher levels and
with greater speed than ever before. Spirited discussions, debates and
differences of opinion and perspective can energize a group towards higher
potential.
Through involvement in this event participants will:
Self-organize, using Open Space Technology (OST) for maximum
learning,
creativity and synergy
Recognize the inherent expertise and ability of the group to find
the best
solutions without the need for 'expert' intervention
Share our own expertise, discover new tools and techniques
Explore sources of chaos, confusion and conflict and possibilities
for
transcending these influences
This event is all about illuminating the essentials of best practices that
participants can take and apply in their work, communities, and lives. The
event will help you to discover Open Space Technology (OST) as a powerful
model of management, mentoring and leadership. This event will open space
for learning new ideas and reminding us of good old ideas, and to build new
alliances. www.openspacehalifax.ca
Open Space Technology (OST) is the name given to a meeting without a
predetermined agenda. Developed in the late eighties by Harrison Owen of
Maryland, U.S.A., this meeting methodology is now used around the world as
an effective process for facilitating change in both organizational and
community settings. OST is a proven meeting, learning, citizen engagement,
participatory methodology creating the conditions so that the maximum
potential of the individual and the organization can be realized.
