color=#008080>Marty, I would opt for Evening News before supper and fully open
space in the evenings. This was reconfirmed for me at a recent 1.5 day OS
event I facilitated for a national association. Day One was a very high
energy and productive day. Then they all went off to a Major League
Baseball game on the evening of Day One. My observation was that in
the somewhat formal social setting of the stadium suite, the typical
pecking order reasserted itself. Since the ballgame gig was quite
expensive, everyone felt obligated to go. Day Two was quite sluggish -
they got to action but had lost some of their enthusiasm. In the
closing circle, several people mentioned that they regretted
the scheduled social events as they had the effect of shutting down
the space. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia">I am planning an OS for a
conference that will involve about 80 people staying a beautiful hotel in the
country for 3.5 days. Day 1 will probably be lectures and
workshops. Days 2 – 4 will be an Open Space, and we will probably opt to
have one theme or question for this entire period, leading to some kind of
action planing on Day 4. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Georgia size=3><SPAN lang=CY
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia">My question is what to do with the
evenings of Day 2 and 3, after supper. Should we have “evening news”
before supper, suggesting that our day’s work is over? Should we schedule
social events for these evenings? Or should we keep the space “fully open”
and have breakout slots in the evening? In other words, in an
ongoing Open Space, when participants are residential, when is the day
done?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
