Chris, I am about to register for the conference. What does sliding scale mean for fees? Do I choose what I am able to pay or are there guidelines for what I could pay?

There is still time to register for the conference, which you can do by grabbing the registration form at http://www.openspaceworld.org/osonos.html The theme is Improving our practice of Open Space Technology. We hope you can join us and a whole phalanx of OST practitioners from around the world for two and a half days of conversation on improving our practice. We will supply you with paper, tape, a nice facility, bannock and salmon and you bring an open mind and a generous spirit. We are not offering scholarships for this conference, but we are looking to assist those who have limited incomes. For our part, the conference fees fall on a sliding scale between $70 and $200 Canadian. We are also looking into billeting people who would otherwise have to pay for accomodation. We can't guarentee that you will be billeted if you come to Vancouver, but we are doing our best to find accomodation alternatives. And this is where you come in, good listies. If you are coming to Vancouver, and you are staying at the University of British Columbia, would you consider upgrading your accomodation and "hosting" a colleague from afar? The accomodation rates at UBC are very reasonable, and an upgrade would be an inexpensive way of generously enabling some of our colleagues to attend the conference. If you think you can help please let me know by return email, and if you would like to be considered for billeting, please also drop me a line. No guarentees, but we'll see what we can do. I would also like to announce that the evening of August 18th will feature an Open Space reception at an Irish bistro near the University. More details will be released soon, but plan on arriving in Vancouver in time to take in the no host reception which will feature a selection of Irish and Canadian beer, good food friendly conversation and live traditional Irish music. If perchance you are a traditional Irish musician, bring your instrument and join in the session (I know I will!). That's all for now....get your registrations in as soon as you can and visit the conference homepage at http://www.opensopaceworld.org/osonos.html for more details. Cheers!
