Open Space Guidelines

Bring your topic to Open Space and you can run an informal session on any topic you’re passionate about.

How do I propose an Open Space session?

• Think of a topic
• Take an index card and a marker
• Write your topic at the top of the card
• Write your name below – so people know who’s running the session
• Post your topic on the Marketplace (sticky wall) picking a timeslot and location

Open Space runs by four simple organizing principles:

• Whoever comes is the right people
• Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
• Whenever it starts is the right time
• When it’s over it’s over

Use the Law of Two Feet to take responsibility for following your own passions. If you feel that you are not contributing or benefitting from a session, please feel free to move on to something else. Remember it’s self-organizing so...prepare to be surprised.
