<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>I've been at this a long time now, but I've run up
against a situation like this.  I'm stumped and looking for help.<br>
<br>
I;ll be opening space for a gethering of 500+ people.  The client is
completely unwilling to set the room in a circle.  Instead, we will have
96 tables with 6 chairs at each table packed into a spacious but full ball room
facing a stage.  The walls of this room are incredible...they appear to be
actually stuffed with cotton and covered in fabric.  There is little hope
of putting anything on the walls.<br>
<br>
On the plus side we will have lots of AV, so there is a goodly amount of
technology available to play with for agenda setting and huge screen
projection.  <br>
<br>
I'm worried on a number of levels as you can imagine, but at the moment I'm
trying to put that all aside and figure out, in this worst case scenario, what
is the best thing we could do to Open Space?  Anyone been faced with
similar constraints?  Help me out here...<br>
<br>
All tips and support I get on this, I'll roll up into a little document on
"what to do when nothing is what you need it to be" and we can share
it out.<br>
