Hi Lise,
That 3,000 number was for Strategy Cafes, which were outside of the Open Space.
Christine can describe it better but my memory is that they were an experiment
based on the World Cafe in which people could swing by and join an ongoing
conversation.
Below is a message from Christine
Hi Peggy
Thank you - yes my 12 person Open Space was wonderful and intense as
Open Space always is;-)
Thank you for your answer. Michael Pannwitz also sent me something from
the archive - from Christine Sanchez - after the event - and she wrote
that about 1800 girlscouts and some more people
Lise - I hope your 12 person OS was wonderful! I find that size to be intense
in a different way than many hundreds or thousands.
Christine Whitney Sanchez’s Girl Scout Open Space was around 1,800 people. I
found the message below from her in the OSlist archives.
I’m pretty sure Paul
Thank you Jeff, Jake, Michael and Michael - How wonderful to receive

two sites was a good trick in the days before the internet was everywhere.
I think the 3000 might have been Christine Whitney-Sanchez and the Girl
Scouts.

Hey Lise,
I'm pretty sure that Paul Gleiberman facilitated an Open Space at Boeing
for 3,000 people. It was regarding streamlining the company's supply chain
for its aircraft doors. The event was across two different plants and was
held in the mid-1990s I believe.
Much love,
Jake
Dear Lise in Copenhagen,
what do you mean with "the number isn't a big deal"?

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
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;-)
