<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">I am considering doing a
large Open Space – in the 2000 participant range – in a short time (3 hours
total) – it happens at the end of a ‘conventional’ conference. So it
would probably be two 45-minute sessions, a short Closing Circle and the rest
of the time available for the agenda co-creation.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'"></SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">I have done large Open
Space events and also large-ish ones in time frames such as 3 hours (including
1500 people in an airplane hangar in a not-quite-totally Open Space design for
a 2 hour time frame but I’ll tell you that story later).</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'"></SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">This, by the way, will
not include a notes-taking / Book of Proceedings component.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">The issues with large
OS’s are so much about logistics – though very similar to any OS: is the room
big enough, is there enough room along the wall(s) to create the Agenda Wall,
can people hear if there are so many people in the room, how is the traffic
pattern to get to the Agenda Wall, to announce topics, to get to discussion
areas, are there a lot of helpers to help move furniture and such, is there
enough signage and can it be seen by everyone in the room – things like
that.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">The issues with short
OS’s are often – is there enough time for agenda co-creation, multiple
sessions, and closing circle comments and reflections, if breakout rooms are
needed are they very close by, is the client clear on what a very short OS can
deliver and what it cannot, does this serve the participants in its shortened
form, and so on.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">For those of you who have
had experience with large OSs (and of course anyone else feel free to add
their thoughts) – is there anything you would like to add for me to consider
that I may not have thought of as I consider this
opportunity?</SPAN></FONT></P>
