Here are links to my favourite and essential videos of Open Space gatherings that, in different ways, evoke the mood, spirit and process of Open Space. I haven’t embedded them – you can just click on the links…
My favourite … here
Open Space Technology : Facilitation of a complex business issue – a silent movie with piano background, this gets to the essence of it
A longer video -with different examples from around the world
A slick description, a quick primer
A short, advertish montage – but gives a quick flavour
Art of Hosting’s clear overview of OS
An OS conference intro and another and another
OS at a government sponsored conference
An ordinary guy tells the story of OS
I like this one – it feels real and gritty
Another evocative story/example and another here (upbeat!)
Another ponytailed facilitator
This is very clear and has a unclutteredness about it
A very dour, but descriptive video
A photo slide show of an OS with music
An OS facilitated by Thomas Hermann
A very energetic video example
A brief intro to the law of two feet
A timelapse showing an OS and another
OS at the World Fringe Congress
Another OS conference example – gives a good flavour, lots of opinion
