Hi Funda,
I read in your lines that all the people at the event, even if they are
friends are engaged in an InterActive organization. What else could a
circle of friends be??? It is highly complex, everybody is a hero and
the style is surfing. For sure! And a tiny little flap of the wing of a
butterfly could ruin the whole thing.
greetings from Kiev where the spirit of open space alive!

Douglas,
These people i invited in the last minute were all my close friends
who also work in different organizations.
They knew about ost for long time through me, it has been maybe
2 years i had been telling them about it.
They also knew about the iao conference for longtime.
They were aware of and they were also interested in ost.
The problem in Istanbul is that it's a highly populated city, the
traffic is terrible,
the speed of life and competition are high.
These people i contacted are very busy all the time.
So considering all these information, here are the answers to your
questions:
i invited 70 people at the last minute without payment, 50 said that
they would come at least for the opening,
25-30 people showed up at the opening, we were 15 the second
and the third day.
I see this as a successful ost event as one of the very first steps.

Catherine and Funda--
In Funda's report it looks like you contacted a lot of people personally
at the last minute and got some good attendance from them. What per cent
of the people you contacted either over the telephone or in person
actually showed up?
Catherine, you mention almost entirely the use of mailing and
publication--How many people did you invite face to face?
My working hypothesis in these public events is that face to face in
person invitations get people to the event, but newspapers and mailers
generally produce 1 or 2 people, especially for a new event. (I am
thinking of continuing professional education events which happen every
year, and those probably produce 99% of their attendance from mailings.)
