Life & Love: Open Space Agenda (week 7,43/365,shinsato)

We've held an Engineering Summit every year for years, and the big cheese let me facilitate a half day "OpenSpace". This was our agenda wall, built in half an hour at the beginning of the event. People just announce their sessions and put them on the agenda wall, picking a time slot and a place. Two of the slots were in conference rooms, the other two were groups of chairs near the wall in the back of a large open area. It was fun seeing much more participation from the attendees than you normally get in a scheduled powerpoint centric presentation at a conference.
