Open Spaces – Alan Stevens
Open spaces technology allows for the important stuff that goes on at conferences in the hallways. An open space is a place where you can run an impromptu session on any topic. The first step is to propose a topic that you’re passionate about. It doesn’t have to be related to other topics or the conference at all. Announce your topic and your name and put it on the board in one of the areas available. The only other responsibility is to show up. Then you can do whatever you want. Give a lecture or a presentation or a conversation. If no one shows up, that’s okay, too. Just stay there and see what happens. It is an amazing experience.
