12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I have been invited to offer Open Space as
one of 6 workshop sessions at a conference – so I will need to attract
participants who have other specific offerings to choose from. (This is a
conference for diverse grantees from a foundation that supports small NGOs
dealing with vulnerable populations.) Has anyone offered OS in such a setting?
How have you described it in the program as an offering? What lessons did you
learn? I plan to assemble a small group of representatives who will attend the
conference to help me frame the question. Thanks for any suggestions,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
