new for old conferences connecting all professions worth sustaining

[Harrison Owen]

Chris -- Sounds like they are already in Open Space, so they might as well do it intentionally. As for other examples -- I suppose you could say that every time Open Space is used for a collection of professionals gathered for a common purpose that would be an example. If so the number is probably in the 1000's.

  Has there ever been an open space type of a conference gathering where
  people of a profession can meet people of all professions who have come
  to believe that professionals should be better at connecting knowhow
  than separating their own business case? If so where was it? How large
  did it get? Is it still annually convening?

   Here's a different version of this query that has started doing the
  rounds. The background in Europe being after 5 years of two
  organizations -commercial conference producer and European Union large
  virtual community - enabling an annual free to participate congress of
  1000+ people paid for exhibitors and the opportunity to join pay for
  expert sessions, this year the conference producer says it will cost
  about 1000 dollars to join the main event and the virtual community says
  it will host a fringe networking event for about 75 dollars a head, and
  nobody yet knows if these will be organized in the same place and week,
  though  initial promises had been they would (Amsterdam November)

  Subject: Evolution of KM Events & The Dinosauring of Under-adaptive
  Academics/Specialists?

  Dear all,

  What's your imminent view on how adaptiveness-rich, or lack thereof,
  corporate-nexus KM conferences are, as compared to (a) what emerging
  epistemology expectations are and (b) what these events could be? If you
  were such an events strategist how would you facilitate your blend of
  priorities?

  Here's fodder for thought:-

  "(Upcoming Amsterdam KM Event) Nobody yet knows what will happen. Will
  the
  combined event still attract people numbering in their thousands and if
  so
  will the Fringe be the majority? If so will this be the largest
  non-academic event where people come to network around a discipline and
  themes chosen by those who come (as opposed to a conference producer or
  speakers)?"  Chris Macrae
