Last week, I once again had the opportunity to experience how Open Space Technology brought life to an important conference ( https://www.dnbgf.de/veranstaltungen/dnbgf-konferenz-2024). I have been of the same opinion for about 20 years; working with methods where every individual can contribute, participate and feel free is *the ONLY* way out for efficient and healthy social structures (institutions, communities, organisations, etc.).
First thoughts regarding last week work experience: 💚It was a pleasure to work with my colleagues Mia Konstantinidou and Michael Pannwitz (from Boscop) who have many years of experience facilitating meetings/events with OST. (Mia was the facilitator, Michael was the first assistant and I was the second assistant) 💚More than 200 participants started to organize themselves in a very short time. The community became alive. In a way, oxygen and blood flowed to the conference hall. 💚With a leadership approach in line with this method, the conference has been very productive. The leaders carefully noted the issues that the participants cared about and posted on the agenda board, listened to their action plans seriously and took notes. 💚Everyone took the steering wheel, this is how they determined their direction. 💚 We all learned from each other, changed, transformed and developed all together. When it comes to me, I had once again the pleasure to work for a conference conducted with the Open Space method. I felt at home, safe and natural. Thousands of Thanks! I would like to remind you again that the 30th annual meeting on Open Space Technology (World Open Space on Open Space 2024) will be held for the first time ever, in Istanbul. Book your 🎟 ticket without delay within the early bird period. #www.wosonos2024.istanbul Organising Team: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAxQE9QBkLEpX_IDeHLxxRG5WD-8MAt-xkg>Funda Oral Toussaint <https://www.linkedin.com/in/funda-oral-toussaint-55822159/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAEmLbuUBVs225vGX5zRmPG-bEbITE_E7vcs>Yeşim Karayel <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ye%C5%9Fim-karayel-a0527b2a5/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAdiJSgB4kLjuNXoppHj4eMwN0ZrQccEn7w>Bike Küçük <https://www.linkedin.com/in/bike-k%C3%BC%C3%A7%C3%BCk-60859935/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAABLaN0BuvALu5Rpb69BShJeioHjgmdNMls>Serhan K. <https://www.linkedin.com/in/serhan/> Co-Inviters and Participants: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAALadckBSre85aqYGs9qG-Ka01x6HGl6Q_E>Ian Andersen <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-andersen-46104714/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAACYiRcBv3b3fNl6wpC7hLbhZHnkNx6x4r8>Thomas Herrmann <https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasherrmannopenspaceconsult/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAAonqQBOqNrceDVDnfhlHszRptABJmaB3A>Gerardo de Luzenberger <https://www.linkedin.com/in/deluzenberger/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAEQkP0Bth_aW7mlPSe71UY0qrcU_HWO-s8>Holger Nauheimer <https://www.linkedin.com/in/hnauheimer/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAAUVyQBK2V5NsqzXV9vpAKDw1QGdTika88>Peggy Holman <https://www.linkedin.com/in/peggyholman/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAADhXcB-4KS9CIkTDs9wiE5ZimjL7U4vwI>François Knuchel <https://www.linkedin.com/in/fknuchel/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAABZfacAB__xuuxe0zyEzX1hh0ZWWicx_luU>Sanna Schondelmayer <https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanna-schondelmayer-540855a5/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAFJ76cBVdeO41d-spQk5Wxk_ukiBJ16Vro>Suzanne Daigle <https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannedaigle/>, <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAELCQEB1RVh4GYUZKK2BxDPIlZiEYu2iQ0>Allie Middleton <https://www.linkedin.com/in/alliemiddleton/>
