What Is It?

“Based on something called Open Space Technology (OST). OST has been developed over a period of time, starting in 1985. It has been used all over the world with groups from five to two thousand. You will be surprised how simple it is, and strangely it always seems to work.”

Owen, 2008

Process

• Identify some issue or opportunity related to our theme for which you have genuine passion and for which you will take real responsibility

• If nothing occurs, that is okay – if multiple ideas come to you, that is okay too!

Four Principles of Unconferences

1. Whoever comes are the right people.

2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.

3. Whenever it starts is the right time.

4. When it is over, it is over.

Owen, 2008

The Law of Mobility/Two Feet

If participants find themselves in situations where they are neither learning anything or contributing anything they are responsible for moving to another place.
