>> Dear friends and colleagues,
>>
>> The Evolve conference has a great line up of speakers and conveners, all
>> committed to facilitating change in the world. The list of
>> speakers/conveners includes a few people on our OS community, including
>> Harrison Owen, Tova Averbuch, Peggy Holman. As well, four of us (Suzanne
>> Daigle, Jake Yeager, Rachel Bolton and I) are facilitating a meeting within
>> the conference using Open Space Technology. When we were asked to each take
>> a one hour session time to have an Open Space during that session, with
>> topics posted in the chat window, it felt to me like a speed dating version
>> of Open Space. The four of us conferred and the result was to have one
>> congruent OST meeting that had five session times, using those sessions as
>> topic conversation round times. We wanted to offer as much time for the
>> discussions as possible within the structure of the conference, and we
>> wanted to provide people who attended any of the sessions to have the
>> experience of being within something greater, something that could make a
>> bigger difference.
>>
>>
>>
>> Having come up with that as our offer, and having the conference
>> organizers agree to one comprehensive OST meeting taking place in five one
>> hour sessions over the three days, we solved some of what felt limiting to
>> us. Suzanne wondered if we could use the last session to have a closing
>> circle of the OST and we all were very much in favor of her wish and she is
>> facilitating that session. We wanted to use some of the first session to
>> open the space and invite for the co-creation of the agenda wall, likely
>> using Miro. The agenda wall would be open for more topics to be added.
>>
>>
>>
>> There are still some challenges to be worked out and with the help of the
>> conference organizers, we intend finding viable solutions. Right now, the
>> schedule on the website is offered as a list, so it appears that there are
>> five different Open Space sessions. We will find a way to communicate that
>> what is offered is an Open Space Technology meeting over the five sessions.
>> Haven't quite figured out how to convey that this isn't limited to five
>> times in which there is open space in the conference, but rather that there
>> is a meeting method that has great value for collaborative change: Open
>> Space Technology.
>>
>>
>>
>> I like that the one method that is going to be included in the conference
>> itself as a method is Open Space Technology. I like that Harrison is one of
>> the speakers for this first time gathering of people from many communities
>> of practice, scholars, artists, and more. Open Space Technology remains (30
>> years) my favorite of the large group interventions.
>>
>>
>>
>> Now, back to the conference. It might be the right time, in the absence
>> of a WOSONOS conference, to enter into a collaborative playground that is
>> designed to enrich with learning of more that  is happening in the growing
>> field of collaborative change.
>>
>>
>>
>> with appreciation to all that you are and all that you do towards a more
>> life nourishing world,
