What is Open Space?
An open space discussion (often part of an “Open Space Technology” event) is a participant-driven meeting format where attendees create the agenda themselves around a central theme or question. It’s designed to foster self-organized conversations, creativity, and collaboration, especially when the group includes diverse perspectives or when complex issues are being addressed.
