Dear Thomas Thanks for the question. You already got many great answers here comes just a thought.
Your own thinking if you think it is a crowed place people will feel that and it will become a truth. If you think that there is enough space for the whole event then this is what people will feel. So your own thoughts might also influence the setting J I remember when I had a training the room was really crowed but during my sessions I did send there is enough space for everyone. In the evaluation people wrote it was so strange during Ulrikas session there was enough space in the room but not in the other session. The other facilitators said that the room was so crowed and were very stressed for this. And it is also thinkable to make the meeting accessible for people with disabilities. Wish you good luck and also go with your stomach feeling should it be OS here or another form? Ulrika Från: oslist-boun...@lists.openspacetech.org [mailto:oslist-boun...@lists.openspacetech.org] För Thomas Herrmann Skickat: den 6 april 2011 00:29 Till: OS LIST Ämne: [OSList] Large group small main room Hi friends in Open Space I have a challenge coming on. A group want to use OST for a meeting, they have booked a space and expect maybe 100 participants. The challenge is that the main room if we cant be outside which you normally know the day before or so even if its late summer thats how it is in Sweden Well, the main room is about 10*10 meters which is too little BUT I want to give it a go (they cannot change location, they say). There is lots of space for break outs and maybe maybe we can even find another solution for the main circles the dining area if we can find somewhere else to dine/or break the circle during lunch might be another solution. Anyhow I will have to go and explore different opportunities . Hmmm seems I find some possible solutions while writing Anyhow, my question is has anyone any experiences of a similar situation, where people are really crammed in the main room. I am thinking about inviting those who can, to stand during the opening, and maybe give 60 persons a chair in two circles which gives a little space at the agenda wall A little more chaos than normal, but it should work Or have cushions as an inner circle ? So, any experiences, ideas or just some cheering would be appreciated Great to be in this new space with you!
