> *experienced it -- an opportunity to share your learning and understanding
> of the method and to prepare*
>
> *yourselves for facilitating your own Open Space. You will experience an
> Open Space meeting and learn how to*
>
> *design, prepare hosts or clients, coordinate and facilitate the meeting
> and help organizations or communities*
>
> *support the actions and momentum that come out of the event. *

>
> *This experiential workshop will include all of the things you may wish to
> know for holding your own Open Space event – from planning, preparation
> and design to logistics, talking with sponsors/clients, developing
> invitations and themes, recording proceedings, event follow-up, ‘what-ifs’
> and anything else you personally would like to share or ask about.
> Registration fees are flexible – money should never get in the way of
> learning. Participants are encouraged to read Harrison Owen’s book “Open
> Space Technology: A User’s Guide” prior to this workshop.*
