<p dir="ltr">John, some years ago I opened space in the middle of a 3 day conference. National Alliance of Arts and Culture... 350 people in a fancy hotel in Boston. No possibility of creating circle of chairs but at least we had a market place wall. I opened the space by inviting people to create a circle in their mind. Quite surprising that it all worked. People were in their sessions within the hour, super engrossed to the point where many skipped lunch.Topics got added over the course of the conference. Breakouts self-organized in unusual places with notes posted on walls to meet at the bar or at breakfast. Was not ideal but it seemed to work<br>
 Enough that they created an adapted monthly or bimonthly open space like conference call for a year or two after. I was not involved.<br>
The sponsors were pleased and the participants were engaged. Not what I prefer but if I had to do it over again, I totally would. <br>

    The Open Jam events at the Agile 20xx conferences have increasingly
    been the place where (at least in my opinion) the cool things
    happen. Even though the official story is that Open Space doesn't
    work in parallel, and I've definitely seen it work horribly in a
    software conference attempting to put OST in parallel - the Agile
    Software community seems to really enjoy hanging out in this space
    and holding interesting sessions on the fringes of a very well
    populated main track. Even though it's not "official OST", it's very
    Open Space like.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks to the Agile 20xx conference folks, and to you Diane, for
    having this as a constant feature in my Agile 20xx experience!<br>

      One more story: 
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Since 2008,, every year at the Agile 20xx conference there
        has been an area called "Open Jam" (in homage to a now defunct
        Music Festival analogy). It's usually prominently located near
        the main traffic patterns of the conference and arranged with a
        variety of sub-areas variously décor-ed with chairs of different
        kinds, some tables, some not, flip charts, markers and other
        supplies for easy access, etc. </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>The "Open Jam" offers an opportunity each morning of the
        five-day conference to propose new, not-on-the-formal-program
        sessions that will run throughout the day. It's right out in the
        Open, not sub rosa at all, and for some attendees, it's the best
        part of the conference. Every year different folks step up to
        organize it with a very light touch.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Beyond the Open Jam, the conference organizers work with the
        new venue to emphasize the importance of a variety of seating +
        small conversation areas throughout the facility. People use
        them a lot, and at some times of day it can be hard to find a
        free one. 
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>It's an acknowledgement of the "always open" nature of
          spaces. </div>

              <br>
              Last year at a 200-participant (tables of 8) conference,
              myself and a colleague Peter Wilde (with the blessing of
              the organisers) offered an 'alternative' space to the
              mainstream process.<br>
              <br>
              We introduced the notion of 'self-organising'
              conversations at the beginning of the conference and set
              up a 'market place' for offering/requesting conversations
              during the breaks and alongside the afternoon pre-planned
              workshop sessions. The market place was on a wall in the
              main meeting area and people were invited to go along at
              anytime and post their topic, indicating where they would
              meet to host their conversations. Needless to say, these
              conversations started at the right time, at the right
              place and continued until they were over...<br>
              <br>
              It was a practical way to provide meeting spaces for those
              who wished to connect with others - and it worked. <br>

                  some years ago, ted ernst (who some here will

                  friends got excited about wiki websites.  they met up
                  in portland, drove to<br>
                  seattle to pick up others, then drove all the way to
                  san diego, using<br>
                  *part* of the minivan windshield as an open space
                  bulletin board,<br>
                  discussing all the way, to a symposium called wikisym.<br>
                  <br>
                  when they got there, this merry band made themselves
                  stickers that said<br>
                  "ask me about open space."  as they met folks, they
                  told the story and made<br>
                  more stickers.  pretty soon everyone knew about open
                  space, a bulletin<br>
                  board was created on a wall in a hallway, sessions
                  went up and started<br>
                  happening.  the conference organizers came to the
                  merry band and asked them<br>
                  nicely not to wreck the conference.  since wrecking
                  was not the intention,<br>
                  it was all worked out.<br>
                  <br>
                  part of that is that the organizers asked ted to
                  facilitate open space at<br>
                  the next symposium and make it official, so to speak.
                   another part was<br>
                  that some of the merry band, having been teased by
                  these first attempts,<br>
                  wanted to see what happened in a full-blown 2.5 days.
                   so they organized<br>
                  "recent changes camp" which itself sparked a bunch of
                  other gatherings.<br>

                        about to describe. Most published stories of
                        open space tend to go by<br>
                        the<br>
                        book. The book is often referred to as the *user
                        *<br>
<a href="http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm" target="_blank"><http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm></a>*guide*<br>
                        <a href="http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm" target="_blank"><http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm></a>“,
                        and it tends towards<br>
                        a process that is largely based on an*
                        instruction manual*<br>
<a href="http://elementaleducation.com/wp-content/uploads/temp/OpenSpaceTechnology--UsersGuide.pdf" target="_blank"><http://elementaleducation.com/wp-content/uploads/temp/OpenSpaceTechnology--UsersGuide.pdf></a>.<br>
                        Dogmatic application manual can then lead, in my
                        humble opinion, not to<br>
                        one<br>
                        less thing to do, but often one more thing to
                        do. These are “guides”<br>
                        not<br>
                        rules, and that is the spirit in which they were
                        written. In many<br>
                        cases,<br>
                        the user guide proves remarkably resilient and
                        applicable. Yet there is<br>
                        always the next moment, the new story, the
                        moment that needs something<br>
                        playful.<br>
                        <br>
                        There’s a lot in the manual (and the many
                        trainings that have come into<br>
                        being from it) about sponsors and invitations,
                        and the things that need<br>
                        to<br>
                        be done before an Open Space to ensure the open
                        spacer er… opens space.<br>
                        I<br>
                        have no difficulty with the manual. It’s full of
                        good advice and is the<br>
                        foundation you might just need to open some
                        space. But, hey, what about<br>
                        this… I’m at a company away day that is looking
                        at product innovation.<br>
                        It<br>
                        is business critical, and it is floundering.
                        Powerpoint after<br>
                        Powerpoint<br>
                        has resulted in a stifled audience, and when
                        they get to breakout<br>
                        sessions,<br>
                        the flipcharts look empty, the energy is low,
                        and it all looks a bit<br>
                        too<br>
                        quiet. There’s a feeling in the room that the
                        event is dying on its<br>
                        feet.<br>
                        Several sessions are lost in badly facilitated
                        action planning. I am on<br>
                        the<br>
                        team and the lead facilitator looks to me for
                        any ideas. It must be<br>
                        because<br>
                        I am silent and looking knowing and wise.<br>
                        <br>
                        Actually I’m seething inside at this
                        over-facilitated, over-designed,<br>
                        overplanned conference crash. Do you mind if I…
                        I ask, a bit pompously<br>
                        and<br>
                        the lead facilitator is up for whatever help he
                        can get. I leap up, and<br>
                        step into the mess. I have a loud voice and it
                        can’t get any worse than<br>
                        this. An idea has just occurred to me and I
                        decide to hurl it into the<br>
                        cluttered room. “Er, hey.” I roar. “Why don’t we
                        open some space?” I’m<br>
                        loud. It goes silent.<br>
                        <br>
                        This is what I say: “This is crap isn’t it?”
                        Silence. “Can everyone<br>
                        bring their chairs and let’s get into a big
                        circle. Tuts, irritation,<br>
                        doubt<br>
                        and mostly relief. Two minutes later there’s a
                        big circle.<br>
                        <br>
                        I introduce open space in about four minutes and
                        quickly crab some flip<br>
                        chart paper and tack it to the wall, creating
                        four corners at new<br>
                        breakout<br>
                        spaces.<br>
                        <br>
                        I ask people to take their chairs with them and,
                        within about ten<br>
                        minutes we have a whole bunch of different
                        sessions, many based around<br>
                        action.<br>
                        <br>
                        The bosses in the room are gobsmacked.<br>
                        <br>
                        We have a two hour open space until wrap up and
                        there’s a huge buzz in<br>
                        the room from this pop-up open space.<br>
                        <br>
                        The invite was improvised and spontaneous.<br>
                        <br>
                        The space opened because it wanted and needed
                        to. It popped up and out<br>
                        as if it were the most natural thing in the
                        world. It transformed the<br>
                        day<br>
                        and sent the clutter fleeing for cover. It was
                        done without fuss and<br>
                        chairs<br>
                        from the main circle quickly went into breakout
                        and back again. The<br>
                        facilitator team were edgy because they felt
                        they were supposed to be<br>
                        doing<br>
                        something and I dragged them away for coffee. We
                        chatted a bit about<br>
                        “emergence” and I was looked on as if I’d done
                        some kind of magic. I<br>
                        was<br>
                        young and enjoyed the attention. I was also
                        looked as as if I was a bit<br>
                        weird. Well, I am a bit weird. I do wonder if
                        pop-up open space could<br>
                        and<br>
                        should happen a lot more.<br>
                        <br>
                        A lot of open spacers I know loved improvisation
                        and spontaneity, yet<br>
                        when it comes to open space are a bit locked in
                        the process in the book<br>
                        of<br>
                        instructions – the manual that tends to overplay
                        the “prep” for the<br>
                        event.<br>
                        So, I’m waving a flag for pop-up, guerilla open
                        space. Why not open<br>
                        some<br>
                        space even for the process of open space? Let’s
                        shimmy it a little and<br>
                        see<br>
                        what falls out.<br>
                        <br>
                        “Flash mob” open space has, I think, a big
                        future. My intuition tells<br>
                        me<br>
                        a fair number of facilitators have done it, and
                        a fair few of them<br>
                        haven’t<br>
                        reported it, telling instead there more
                        “responsible” by-the-book open<br>
                        space stories. But why not? Why not open some
                        space on the spur of the<br>
                        moment? The invite is still there -it just takes
                        a hell of a lot<br>
                        shorter.<br>
                        The opportunity is always there where an
                        over-organised event is<br>
                        disappearing up its own proverbial…<br>
                        <br>
                        It is also there in an event that has some
                        inbuilt flexibility. Why not<br>
                        throw some open space into the flexible mix? But
                        best of all, why not<br>
                        open<br>
                        space when space is there to be open?
                        Self-organisation is often crying<br>
                        out<br>
                        for a chance in the midst of failing
                        over-organisation.<br>
                        <br>
                        So, here’s to some more pop-up open space…<br>

                          <br>
                          Hi Peggy,<br>
                          <br>
                          Thinking about the NCDD conference, I got the
                          idea for "guerilla Open<br>
                          Space" to be used in conferences where you
                          want to open the space in<br>
                          the<br>
                          middle of a too-organized gathering.  It would
                          involve a central<br>
                          website<br>
                          with instructions on what to do and why.  It
                          would involve passing out<br>
                          cards with messages like "Is there something
                          that you'd really like to<br>
                          talk<br>
                          about or do here that the agenda here is
                          preventing you from talking<br>
                          about<br>
                          or doing?"  "Would you like to be learning,
                          contributing, and having<br>
                          more<br>
                          fun here?" with the web address on it.  Tweets
                          might also be used.<br>
                          Then,<br>
                          on the main website it would tell people about
                          how to do a guerilla<br>
                          open<br>
                          space, referring them perhaps to <a href="http://meetup.com" target="_blank">meetup.com</a> to
                          arrange places to talk.<br>
                          <br>
                          Or something like that.  Have you heard of
                          such  thing before?  Do you<br>
                          have any thoughts/responses?<br>
                          <br>
                          Hugs,<br>
