Open Space is where attendees get to decide everything! We start Open Space by co-creating the sessions for the day. Anyone (including you) may propose a session on a topic of choice. This could be something you’re expert at, curious about, or something totally uncharted. The group will then self-organize to create a session schedule (of course, this can change too).
