Background
Open Space is an approach in which conference participants can significantly shape the program and there is intensive learning from each other. The host or moderator defines a motto under which the schedule will run. This requires the highest level of moderation skills to maintain and structure this dynamic space, but also to ensure that all conference participants can contribute as they wish. With skillful moderation, the outcome of open space conferences is extremely high productive. In addition, the participants grow closer together and network with each other more than in other conference formats.
Procedure
