Abstract
Open Space Technology is a cumbersome name for a participative conference model that enables dynamic inclusive engagement and challenges traditional highly structured hierarchical conference formats. Based on self-organising systems (Wenger, 1998) Open Space Technology conferences have an open process, start with no agenda and empower the most equitable outcome determined by those attending. This article describes the author’s participation in an Open Space Technology conference, discusses the principles underpinning Open Space Technology methodology and considers its application in adult learning engagement settings.
