Open Space – the floor is yours!

On the second day we would like to propose the Open Space formula.
We will let the participants decide what will be discussed and what we are going to listen to.
What does it mean for you?
You will design the day!
You will have an opportunity to propose the topic for discussion and moderate it.
You will have a possibility to take part in the discussion which should be interesting for you – but if it isn’t, you are free to change the room whenever you want.
It is a chance to meeet and talk to as many people as you wish.
And more importantly it’s a chance to ask difficult questions and receive an adequate answer, perhaps an answer you have been searching for a very long time.

Rules..? You make the rules!
