If you would like to see how this worked, some of the closing comments can be found at the end of *CONNECTED: Transforming the Conversation at the 2005 Convention <http://gallery.me.com/gshirley#100070> : *Thousands of Girl Scouts use Open Space Technology and World Cafe to focus on the Core Business Strategy at the 2005 Girl Scout National Convention. May this dream of you and your friend come true so that you can build on the best of the past and perhaps innovate new closing circle process.

Just remember that we have to be out of here by ??:?? o’clock.” When we reach the magic moment I take back the mike, pass it to the sponsor for a final farewell. Always seems to work.

OK, I give up :-) Sorry but it's faster this way - to ask you guys directly. My question that I was looking for the answer in the archives was and is - How do you do/ how to handle a closing circle when there is thousands of participants in an OS meeting. I mean it could take very loooooooooong....... I tried to remember the name for the 2108 participants OS but don't remember... How did you do that?
