"In 1985 Open Space was born. It emerged not so much as a product of intentional design , but rather as an outgrowth of frustration and at some level.. laziness. The frustration appeared as a result of my having spent an entire year organising an international gathering for 250 people, only to discover that the best part, as judged by myself and all the participants and myself, were the coffee breaks. It was during the coffee breaks where the real juicy stuff happened. All the rest (featured speakers, panel discussions and the like) seemed almost an interruption to the core activity."
