In addition to the amazing speakers we have engaged for the AM of the event, the Symposium features a true Open Space event in the afternoon.
At this Open Space, some very notable guests from around the world plan to be in attendance. These honored guests are listed below. Some are teachers. Some are leaders of local communities of practice.
Each of these individuals is an original thinker, an accomplished professional, and often, a very notable voice in the world of Open patterns and practices. Every single person listed here is a very strong supporter of the Open Leadership Network and the Open Leadership Symposium event.
These are people we listen to! We have no idea how they may choose to engage, or what they may teach. Be prepared to be surprised… To get an idea of what each Guest may add to the event, you can investigate each by using social media, and by clicking through the links they offer below.
