Dear Lise in Copenhagen,
what do you mean with "the number isn't a big deal"?
Remembering that OST gatherings work from 0 human participants (there is
one reported, where a dear colleague of mine in a remote German village
in the Black Forest gathered a bunch of dolls, had them take on
different roles, facilitated the event as a sponsor and had a wonderful
time), and up the ladder to 2, 3, 5, 9, 12 ... up to 3000.
I myself was part of one with 2108 as co-facilitator with HO on May 3,
2003 in Würzburg, Germany. Thats at least the largest in Europe, I
think. Here more details in the Open Space Worldscape
https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/165-jetzt-meine-leidenschaft-meine-verantwortung-ueber-die-tagung-hinaus-now-my-passion-my-responsibility-beyond-the-conference
If you scroll down to the end of that entry, you come to a very detailed
fotoshow with 97 pictures that Erich Kolenaty put together
https://www.transformation.at/documents/OS_Wuerzburg_minimized.pdf
Erich, you can see here in the World Map
https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/worker/erich-kolenaty
His website talks a lot about Large Group Interventions (even though I
would not call OST a Large Group Intervention since it works beautifully
for any size of group)... here is his great website and believe it or
not its is there in German and English
https://www.transformation.at/
Since you asked for the biggest of all I think Peggy Holman facilitated
one with 2100 youngsters in Colombia... here you can see her in the
World Map
https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/worker/peggy-holman
and her website has a grand section on open space
https://peggyholman.com/openspace/
and a very detailed and wonderful account on the largest she ever did,
see here
https://peggyholman.com/papers/articles/good-work-for-2100-colombian-street-kids/
and one string of os events throughout the State of Washington with 20
os events, probably altogether more than 2000 folks
https://peggyholman.com/a-conversation-about-the-arts/
But I do dimly remember that there was on os event with 3000 people but
maybe thats just a story.
I wonder why we never had a WOSonOS with 3000 people. Imagine we were
to invite everyone attached to os, participants, facilitators, sponsors
and met for three days.
How about Denmark?
Greetings from Berlin where I am off to our regular Stammtisch where we
have between 1 and about 20 participants... including great greek food
and beverages... its been going on for 12 years in the same greek pub
that in itself is a veritable open space organisation. But thats another
story
Cheers and greetings to Copenhagen

Hi Open Spacer's
Do anyone know of an Open Space with more than 2400 participants?
the "2400" is a number I remember from a presentation some years ago -
any higher? or anyone who knows where or who did the 2400-open space?
I know that the number isn't the big deal - just want to be updated;-)
Lise, Copenhagen
