12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Lisa – further on your point about
logistics. Actually I rather find the reverse to be true. The larger the group,
the easier (for me) the logistics. With a small group the tendency is to “let
the facilitator do it” (as in signs, computers, etc.) But with a large
(or better VERY LARGE) group – it is obviously impossible for the
facilitator to do it and therefore very easy to put everyone to work. Once
again proving the advantage of thinking of one more thing not to do.</span></font></p>

style='color:black'> - in my experience working with groups of from 1 (yep) to
1500, the only challenge (true for all sizes of groups) is about
logistics. With the right team helping put on the event, there’s not
a shift to ‘harder’, just more things to think about and secure
during the pre-work/prep/organizing time. And if there’s
documentation during the event, availability of technology or wallspace or
whatever to co-create and distribute (during or soon after the event) the Book
of Proceedings.</span></font></p>

logistical planning and prep work, the ability of people to post topics
