2005 conference schedule
This is the planned timetable for the conference.
Open Space
You'll see there are some prepared concurrent sessions, which take place in the context of an Open Space. This means that all participants are encouraged to set up sessions of their own. If there's a subject on which you'd like to find out more, or on which you have some knoweldge or expertise you'd like to share - or maybe a bit of both - this is your opportunity. The structure encourages you to create your own conversations, invite others to join you, and share your ideas with the larger group. Much of this agenda setting will take place on the hoof, but you're also welcome to use our website or yahoo group to share your thinking in advance.
For the Open Space sessions, we expect the unexpected. AND We can tell you that during the OS at last year's AIN conference, folks offered and attended sessions entitled:
ALSO one of the key reflections from last year in the closing circle for the Open Space was:
In other arenas we might consider be considered competitors. And yet this gathering and this group is so generously about supporting one another to do our best work. Their was a rich opening of our "trade secrets" and our discoveries to one another, in an effort to raise the level of connection, spontaneity and our work in the world.
We look forward to what Opens up this year! Join Us.
And here's the scheduled program...
