What are Open Spaces
Open Spaces are participant-driven sessions where you can lead discussions, join conversations, or simply observe and learn from the community.
These informal 30-minute gatherings are perfect for exploring ideas, sharing knowledge, and connecting with others who share your interests. No formal presentations required.
Before proposing your own session, check out the current Open Spaces to see what's already planned and discover sessions you might want to attend.
