	Brief History
		Open Space Technology, as a definable approach to organizing meetings has been in existence for somewhat more than a dozen years.
		In the case of Open Space, it means (at the very least) that diverse, often conflicted groups up to 1000 people, manage hugely complex issues in minimal amounts of time, with no advance agenda preparation, and little, to no, overt facilitation.
		In a typical Open Space, self-managed work groups are the general mode of operations, distributed leadership the norm, and diversity is perceived as a rich resource to be cherished, as opposed to a problem to be managed.

		Open Space Technology (OST) is one way to enable all kinds of people, in any kind of organization, to create inspired meetings and events.

		With groups of 5 to 1000 – working in one-day workshops, three-day conferences, or the regular weekly staff meeting – the common result is a powerful, effective connecting and strengthening of what's already happening in the organization: planning and action, learning and doing, passion and responsibility, participation and performance.

		Our school division hosted a conference for consultants and superintendents and frankly anyone interested in supporting teachers and classrooms based on the open space model.
		As is the principle of open space, this allowed you to excercise your right to use your feet and move over that conversation and bring with you the good discussion you had at other sessions.
		As a participant-organizer, I enjoyed the open space conference mostly because I could move to and intitiate conversations that were compelling to me. One of my observations was that it is hard for senior administrators to let go of traditional practices.
