Hi Jake,
I'd say it depends on what kind of space you are opening: How much time
do you have for the whole thing? A 2 hour event may need a different
opening than a five-day one.
Also: why do you need to know in advance? What decisions depend on your
projection for the duration of the "opening"? Could you just "open" and
go with the flow?
(I'm from the school that uses no pre-framed or -timed "session slots".
I leave all time management to the participants. So I rarely need to
know / plan how long an "opening" or a marketplace phase takes.)
Love,
Juliane.
