* Open Space Technology
The conference structure is based on Open Space Technology without pre-determined agenda, only the highly interactive framework. This framework was not intended to tell people what to do and when. It will make possible to create a supportive environment in which all the participants will actively participate and give their contribution in forming partnerships and developing project ideas.
The goal of an Open Space Technology meeting is to create time and space for people to engage deeply and creatively around issues of concern to them. The agenda is set by people with the power and desire to see it through.
Open Space works best when the work to be done is complex and the people and ideas involved are diverse. It's been called passion bounded by responsibility, the energy of a good coffee break, intentional self-organization, spirit at work, chaos and creativity, evolution in organization, and a simple, powerful way to get people and organizations moving -- when and where it's needed most.
The most basic principle is that everyone who comes to an Open Space conference must be passionate about the topic and willing to take some responsibility for creating things out of that passion.
Open Space Technology was created in the mid-1980s by organizational consultant Harrison Owen when he discovered that people attending his conferences loved the coffee breaks better than the formal presentations and plenary sessions. Combining that insight with his experience of life in an African village, Owen created a totally new form of conferencing. It has been applied in thousands of meetings around the world with between five and one thousand participants.
