> Hege: I would love to share learning with you - though you will be in good hands with the fabulous team of Eva and Thomas. And I of course would love to be in your workshops one day - Eva, Thomas and Chris.
> We all have so much to learn from each other.

> I travel around the world with my facilitation and workshops - I go wherever I am hosted and also have a few per year in my home region of the San Francisco Bay Area. So you never know - we could one day share learning about pre-work in or nearby to Norway. Or Australia. Or ... there is the delightful mystery of what may happen in the future, eh?
> 
> Chris - how wonderful that you are teaching OST and World Cafe at the University. They are lucky to have you. And what a great workshop design!
> With what you were saying and what Michael was asking - It sounds like some of you teach (or are planning to teach) pre-work through engaging folks in Open Space around that topic. Maybe others have other approaches to this particular workshop design. And Chris, I am so glad you are working with folks on invitation - really truly one of the major jobs for a successful dialogue event.
> 
> About my own workshop content and approach: My "The Power of Pre-Work" workshop does not take place in an Open Space format - and it is not exclusively regarding the method of Open Space.
> It is an interactive 2.5-day workshop with a series of activities, conversations and silent reflection - along with text, spoken word, graphic and other forms of learning exchange, exploration, puzzle-solving and reflection.
> It is for any kind of face-to-face dialogue approach - not specific to method.
> 
> It shares lessons learned - and our existing pooled knowledge - about...
> 
> - invitation text, strategy and the nature of invitation
> - registration as two-way communication and a source of shared resources
> - ideas for working around challenging rooms and room-sets
> - values and actions regarding access and inclusion
> - how food and beverage type, timing and location support or break into the flow of dialogue
> - diverse forms of documentation design for dialogue events
> - thoughts about uncovering all the details in our communication with clients to inform how we might design our event or what dialogue method we might choose
> - some of the many questions we can ask a client to inform this
> - reflection on how we use both mind and intuition to inform ourselves in the pre-work phase
> 
> ...and more.

> Bhav and Sherri - I would have to think long and hard about how to use existing technology - in a way that I feel I can truly support well - that also reflects my passion for doing interactive, experiential, face-to-face, participant-centered, activity-based learning design. So who knows - perhaps that will be in the future. Meanwhile - I travel ;o)
> 
> And Sherri - I will add you to my list of folks who would like to take this workshop whenever time and place align. I teach this workshop in the San Francisco area about once a year or wherever hosted - though I do Open Space Learning Workshops a several times a year. If you can afford the travel costs - my workshops are always a pay-the-most-you-can-given-your-own-individual-or-organizational-ability and for the San Francisco workshops there is always a lovely hostel nearby for super low-cost housing, if you need it.

> As you know - I am passionate. Passionate about pre-work. And access. And inclusion. And oh... a few more things.... ;o)
> 
> I will see some of you at the WOSonOS in London this October. I will be offering the Open Space Learning Workshop in the days just before - and I am delighted to see some of my dear OS friends and some new ones as well registering for that workshop. We will have a tiny taste about pre-work but mostly focus on things very specific to Open Space in particular.  I look forward to seeing some of you there (you can register via the wosonos2012.com website - see 'What's Happening When / Pre-Event Open Space Learning Workshop'.
