The value of the first day is that we&#8217;ll cover <em>a lot<\/em> of core issues.  The value of the second day is that we&#8217;ll get to <em>do something<\/em> with those issues.  <\/p>\n<p>In Open Space, we&#8217;ll name our own working sessions &#8212; repeats, sequels and spin-offs from the first day &#8212; and tap into the talent and experience of everyone, including the speakers, on the issues and opportunities that are <em>most important to us<\/em>.  It&#8217;s not enough to just <em>hear<\/em> new stuff.  We need some space and time to take it in, process, plan, and <em>work together with others to apply it<\/em> in our own situations.  <\/p>\n<p>The official focus is legal blogging, but anyone interested in more general business blogging will surely fit right in and find plenty of learning and application.  I&#8217;m grateful to be along for the ride, as the facilitator of the Open Space portion of the program.  There is much to be done &#8212; and gained &#8212; in connecting the practices of Open Space and Blogging!<\/p>\n<p>Join us for BlawgThink on November 11th and 12th, at Catalyst Ranch in Chicago!  <a href=\"Mailto:Matt@LexThink.com\">Mailto:Matt@LexThink.com<\/a> to register.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Homann and Dennis Kennedy have put together a great group of speakers AND had the &#8212; what should we call it, courage? vision? wisdom? &#8212; to let them say their piece and then sit down in self-organizing work groups, for some active conversation with conference attendees.
