<p dir="auto">It’s a fair assumption I think. In my experience many online meetups of the last year—including online Open Spaces—have been just kinda m’eh. They’ve definitely lacked the impact I wanted.</p>
<p dir="auto">But not all of them had reduced impact. Some online meetups and open spaces had increased impact, and even where impact was lacking we’ve been learning how to create or hold space for more impact next time.</p>
<p dir="auto">I don’t think that holding Open Space online is what creates reduced impact.</p>
<p dir="auto">I believe, it’s the way we think about online meetups (including Open Space) that’s limiting.</p>
<p dir="auto">I still believe we’ve only scratched the surface of what is possible with online Open Space.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m also more and more convinced that what we are learning about holding space for Open Space online is one key to creating more impact for many different events online—especially when the "meeting" itself is not "open space".</p>
<p dir="auto">I keep finding that the principles of open space are teaching me a lot about facilitating other events online—even when those events are not using OST to engage the outcomes.</p>
<p dir="auto">One thing about online Open Space that’s significantly different to me is that I’m not only "holding space", I’m also "building" space.</p>
<p dir="auto">In the physical open space someone has already built the physical space (and manufactured chairs, and painted the walls etc). As a facilitator I work with the sponsor to find a physical space (where possible) that’s open and inviting and "fits" the invitation they’re making to the open space. But how lucky we were to walk into a space that was already built. We "just" had to put the chairs in a circle. (Note: I’m smiling when I say "just".)</p>
<p dir="auto">I believe online the OS facilitator is part of building the "space" that people will enter virtually before you hold it for them. Key to building online space for impact simplicity, invitation and welcoming emergence are keys building space for impact (like with the facilitator’s script for "opening" the circle).</p>
<p dir="auto">(This is also topical for me. By complete coincidence, I’m hosting a couple of free meetups on this in the next few days — 6PM for folks in Berlin/Zurich and Noon for folks in NYC. If there’s interest here I can post the links. Can also potentially add a meetup that’s more comfortable for people in timezones to the East of me—where it’s later.)</p>

<br>
Following the earlier request, i have forwarded a choice of faciltators to the sponsor of the event.<br>
It is an awakening for me to realize the impact covid had on group events and it's future. Sponsors seem to accept the reduced impact as it also reduces the (travelling) cost significantly.<br>
