A similar story to Harrison's was my experience in December only the scale was smaller. A newly developing Social Entrepreneurs Alliance in Toronto chose to open the space to engage small business, activists and academics to discover the "sweet spot" where their interests converged. The staff at the meeting space neglected to come early and open the doors. We found a way, thanks to a resident of an adjoining building, to get into the meeting space hall way, but the rooms were locked. All the set up of food and OST gathered along the walls as the 50 people stared crowding in. One hall area, next to elevators, was larger than others so we started setting up to use that space to open, with breakout spaces up and down the labyrinth of halls. Just as we were moving toward opening, security came and then everyone helped to move food, signs and set up the chairs. Of course, it was a wonderful Open Space as everybody was already engaged and having fun.
