[OSList] What are your thoughts on venue size selection?

[scuola superiore facilitazione]

Hi Kàri.
The problem is the opening  - you need to put all participants into one
room.
So I normally calculate the *carrying capacity *on the main room.
My rule of the thumb is 3sqm per participants.
Of course you can reduce the parameter a bit according to the shape of the
room
