Hello, Melinda -

=20

How exciting to hear of your April 1 Teaching Peace conference.  Are you
using both Open Space and World Caf=E9 on one day? =20

=20

You asked:

1.  How do we market the conference to a public who generally does not=20

know who OS is and who might be looking for the big name/keynote=20

speaker and workshop leaders? That is, a traditional conference would=20

list speakers and workshops to draw participants.  Last year, we=20

offered 5 workshop tracks.  Since we don't know who is coming yet this=20

year, how can we advertise the conference? Should we plant some=20

conveners in our participant group who have offered sessions at the=20

previous conference?

=20

You can always invite some amazing people and list them as 'invited =
guests
include...'  Of course you'll want to inform them of the process and =
that
they are invited to participate in any way they wish, hosting sessions =
or
not as they feel they will best contribute and share learning.  (what I =
am
saying is don=92t ask them to host a session =96 they=92ll know what =
they=92ll feel
like doing as the process unfolds and they may =96 on the other hand =
they may
share and learn much more by attending other peoples=92 sessions, as =
everyone
will be the =91expert=92 in Open Space).  And you'll want to give them a =
very
good sense that this is more a series of conversations, not a =
presentation,
and that people will be coming in and out and sampling different
conversations.=20

=20

If you need an article describing the process for them you can use mine =
if
you like:

"Opening Space for Collaboration and Communication" at

http://www.openingspace.net/papers_facilitation_OSCollaborationCommunicat=
ion
.shtml

=20

And you can advertise the conference with enthusiasm, based on what =
sorts of
people you know will be coming (peacemakers, educators, policy makers,
thought leaders =96 however you want to describe the mix of people who =
come to
this conference already).

Here are some invitations that may spark some ideas:

http://www.openingspace.net/openSpaceTechnology_method_resources_invitati=
ons
5.shtml

=20

And you can mention the method or not; if you do, you can say =
=91experience a
process used in peace conferences around the world=92 because it is.

=20

The key is to craft something so exciting that people will feel like =
they
don=92t want to miss it!   And you may want to send out different =
approaches
to reach different kinds of people =96 different cultures (educators, =
young
people, peace builders, business leaders, faith communities) may respond =
to
different languaging, graphics, and so on.

=20

They key is to invite=85and invite=85and keep inviting all the way up =
until your
event.  To get creative, and outreach, and see who else is not yet =
coming,
and who with a very different viewpoint needs to be there.

=20

2.  How do we get those "experts" to attend and to see themselves as=20

participants who both have something to offer and gain from the=20

experience?

=20

You=92d be amazed at how excited =91experts=92 are when they get to =
really engage,
when they get to try a new approach, when they are invited, when they =
can
talk about what they are really passionate about.  The right ones will
always come, and love it.

=20

And what an amazing conference it will be=85and such an experience of =
peace =96
rather than talking about it, people will be *being* peace=85

=20
