[OSList] Half the conference participants doing open space?

[Anna Caroline Türk]

Dear Sandy,

is there a chance to go a garden, a yard, a roof terrace?
Or you make people walk the auditorium - would be a great metaphor!

I send you much joy, creativity, a supporting sponsor and a fit team!
I see you succeed! 

I am looking forward hearing from you!

much Love 
Anna Caroline*

wherever it happens is the right place!

But unfortunately the venue has already been booked and paid for and the only large enough space for all is an auditorium with fixed rows. The next largest room is a space that could hold a circle of a little over 50 (and no room for 2nd concentric circle). They already want most of the morning to be conventional presentations so the OST slot was to be for the afternoon (maybe with the marketplace the last slot before lunch).

This group have always had a very conventional set up before, they're a fairly straight/conventional crowd and the organisers are anyway worried about introducing OST and how it'll go down.
