co-located open space events

[Harrison Owen]

Anything is possible, but my experience is that two Open Spaces together
seems to bleed energy from both. I suppose that if the focus of each was
VERY different that would not be the case -- but it would have to be very
different. Since it is a single organization/group of people, I am not clear
how different that could be.

Subject: co-located open space events

Traditional conferences somtimes co-locate because of their
overlapping communities or for various other reasons.  Sometimes an OS
event is co-located with a traditional event, maybe calling them
tracks or whatever.

What about two OS events, co-located?  I've got a brainstorm cooking
here, with the omidyar.net members conference in July and the first
Chicago Planetwork conference.  Two facilitators.  Two opening
circles.  Two agenda walls.  One hotel.

The alternative, of course, is to try to craft a single invitation
that serves both groups.  Maybe that's still possible.

Thoughts?
