Help!

[Harrison Owen]

I've had something similar. and my response was "That is a marvelous room
design! And what do you plan to do? It is not Open Space, but I am sure you
will think of something. And if I can help you with it, let me know."  We
had about 4 days of total silence - and then a phone call which started out
with a lot of silence. 

 

We did Open Space with LOTS of space.

I've been at this a long time now, but I've run up against a situation like
this.  I'm stumped and looking for help.

I;ll be opening space for a gethering of 500+ people.  The client is
completely unwilling to set the room in a circle.  Instead, we will have 96
tables with 6 chairs at each table packed into a spacious but full ball room
facing a stage.  The walls of this room are incredible...they appear to be
actually stuffed with cotton and covered in fabric.  There is little hope of
putting anything on the walls.

On the plus side we will have lots of AV, so there is a goodly amount of
technology available to play with for agenda setting and huge screen
projection.  

I'm worried on a number of levels as you can imagine, but at the moment I'm
trying to put that all aside and figure out, in this worst case scenario,
what is the best thing we could do to Open Space?  Anyone been faced with
similar constraints?  Help me out here...

All tips and support I get on this, I'll roll up into a little document on
"what to do when nothing is what you need it to be" and we can share it out.

OSLIST group mind...activate!
