Good luck. You will do just fine. Don't worry, the cold feel will make you prepare better. gijs

Hi everyone

Thank you Lisa for your kind words. Yes it has been an interesting 
journey losing 4 years of work, writings and pictures but since my 
amazing trip to San Fransisco I have been talking about working 
differently so the great thing about losing your notes is that you have 
to start!


some of you know that I am doing a 2 day open space event to help unite 
the media industries in the UK to see how they can do business together. 
They are from different companies and different industries but are 
connected through changes in technology and opportunities of doing 
business together. I have had a challenging 'client meeting' that I put 
together a group of people from the industries who have all supported 
the idea of doing the event but now have cold feet and are scared that 
it won'
t work. The industries are known for being slightly cynical and business 
and training has been done in a certain way but they are not getting 
results. They love the concept of 'labs' but an unconference is a step 
away.

Just wondered if anyone was used to working with a British, slightly 
cynical group who thinks that 'it would work in the states but not 
here'.   I would love some advice on opening the space at the event for 
this kind of audience so it is not too touchy feely for them!
Also I would like to build in action planning time into the two days, 
there will be around 60-90 people at the event, is there a good way of 
doing it?

Thank you so much for your help and support to old friends and new.

Melx
