Spring Open Space Conference

This “Open Space” conference is an opportunity to engage in the conversations you care about. Open Space centers the creativity, expertise, and leadership of the attendees who show up. Open Space establishes a dynamic and collaborative setting of inquiry, reflection, and learning. We hope you’ll join us!

Registrants of the conference are invited to submit discussion topics they would like to engage in. Our facilitation team will establish the conference schedule, and attendees are invited to move freely between discussion sessions.

• You do not need to need to submit a topic or facilitate a discussion in order to attend.
• If you do propose a topic, you don’t need to have all of the answers or be an expert in the topic (presentations/lectures are discouraged!), but you do need to attend that discussion, and play the role of facilitator/moderator.

Approximate Open Space Schedule

• Opening and welcome: Keynote speaker
• Framing the Open Space
• Discussion Block #1

Once you register or RSVP for the conference, use the form linked in the Workshop Materials section at the bottom on this page to submit a discussion topic.

We’ll be back in early December for another opportunity to participate in Open Space!
