I like how balloons and OST go good together. <br>
<br>
Here are some examples, from an Agile Boston OST event held in 2012.

We tied the balloons to the flip charts located in each space (as
depicted in the 2nd photo.) Worked great. Festive & fun<br>

<pre>The great experiment continues! Wonderful Several years ago, Michael Pannwitz faced a similar problem but involving a few more people. 2108, to be exact. The venue was a circus tent, and as with you -- balloons (153 as I recall) marked the "spaces." Then when it came to The Four Principles, Law of Two Feet, Bumble Bees and butterflies --- You guessed it --- Lots more Balloons drifting as they pleased in the open space. We did have fun.

Subject: [OSList] Interesting Space Experiment
Hi all,
This week I'm facilitating a small (40 people), 1 ½ day, internal open space for a client. We found a great spot for the opening circle, but for a few reasons we had trouble identifying four to six breakout spaces.
In the spirit of finding one less thing to do, we took the weighted helium balloons we'd purchased to brighten the space and decided the hosts could use them as the space definers.
1) We lined up six different colored balloons next to the agenda wall.
2) I made sticky notes in the same colors to represent the spaces and different times on the agenda wall. Each host selected one of the colored sticky notes for their time slot and placed it on their topic paper.
3) At the breaks between sessions, each new host grabs the colored balloon that matches their session and takes it to wherever they want to hold their discussion.
4) At the end of their session they bring it back.
Rinse, repeat. It's working really well. 😁
I love experimenting with one less thing...
Diana
