days, with food throughout each day.<br>
<br>
<br>
...the 2014 event is still very much under construction, and if you

Day1 is designed as 15 total speaking slots, some of very short
duration. The intent here is to introduce a numerous, rich and
varied set of thinkers and ideas into the
opening of the conference on Day1....and mix those ideas...and set
the stage for a much deeper dive into culture & community,
with a full-day Open Space on Day2. <br>
<br>
Speakers as of now include: <br>

We plan to announce more exiting speakers in the next 10 days...and
more than a few surprises!<br>
<br>
There are still a few speaking slots open if you have something big
to say about culture. If you have culture design/redesign tools like
meeting formats, social system designs, facilitation and related
tools for designing cultures for teams, organizations and
enterprises, we want to hear from you!<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>The Open Space Story-Behind-the-Story</b><br>
<br>
In many ways, OST is the star of the event, the primary culture-tool
to explore, and an important area of focus for the event. <br>
<br>
One of the intentions of the conference is to actively socialize
Open Space into organizations that are trying to cope with the
relentless pace of change. We are looking for OST people with deep
experience to participate, and teach and socialize Open Space to
across the 2 days. Most of the attendees are managers, directors,
VP, and C-level people from a typical workplace culture. These
attendees are interested in improvement, and know very little about
Open Space. This event is designed to change that!<br>
<br>
The primary task of the event is to put practical tools for shaping
culture... tools like Open Space... into the hands of the people who
need them most.<br>
<br>
How you choose to participate is up to you...if you are <u><b>hot</b></u>
to offer a session on Day1, we want to hear from you!<br>
<br>
The single rule for the 15 speakers on Day1 is that they must be
present during the entire Day2 Open Space in some way, and be
present at the closing circle. The intent here is to create a
valuable and rich social learning experience for attendees, who want
to socialize with the speakers, book authors and thought leaders at
the conference. The focus is on practical tools company leaders can
use to design, and redesign intentional culture designs at work. The
intent is to showcase Open Space as perhaps THE most essential tool
available for creating genuine progress in organizations. <br>
<br>
We at Agile Boston hereby invite you to come and play...and to
consider what this conference may mean to you, and how you may
choose to participate. The space holds about 150 people.<br>
