Because the physical distances in this convention center are so vast, it isn't
feasible for most people to travel from the breakouts, back to the plenary room
to input their reports. So far, it looks like we have spotty wireless
capabilities. Any suggestions about how and where to place the
computers?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

of OST with World Cafe or any other method, Claudia Haack and I, along with a
dedicated design team and a multitude of volunteers, are preparing for the
2005 Girl Scout National Convention. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005>On October 7, Claudia and I will open the space for
up to 2,000 National Council Delegates around the topic of governance.
And for the other 10,000 or so convention participants, "Strategy Cafes" will
be open for business throughout the 3 day convention. In this case, it's
not so much a blend of the methods, but rather using two different methods for
two different purposes. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

we need to finalize some of the physical/logistics plans that
will involve the convention center and we have a few questions
about what you would do (or have done for those of you who have facilitated
really large events).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

would do to expedite the marketplace? There will be 3 session times
available. We open the space at 8:30. The first breakout session
begins at 10:15 or whenever it starts.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

marketplace will take? Harrison, you just said - <FONT face=Arial
color=#000000>From a standing start -- just sitting in a circle -- to active
engagement in something like 15-20 minutes. People rushing to the center of
the circle to announce their issues, and everybody else listening hard and
figuring out what additional issues need to be raised in order to meet
their own needs. That burst of activity might last 30-40 minutes,
followed by another 20 minutes of total ordered chaos in the Market place --
and it is off to work -- usually with sufficient time for a cup of
coffee, restroom break, or phone call. <FONT face="Comic Sans MS"

hold in the Germany 2,000 person event?</FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
