Preparing for OSCD conferences

From Sustainable Community Action

< OSCD

[edit] Open Agenda

For example an agenda can be created through open collaboration on a wiki such as this one. The agenda should be open as soon as possible from when the conference is proposed.

There may be tensions here which need to be worked through. For example objections (to openness) which tend to be of the kind - "people won't come" without certainty over various aspects

• purposes of the conference
• expected outcomes
• key topics
• timing and duration

[edit] Listing questions to work on in advance

Questions to work on (including collaboratively for example via a wiki) in advance might come from the original reasons for calling the conference.

[edit] Overcoming objections to preparation

• Preparation or work in advance of the conference not about cutting down Agenda options
• Preparation or work in advance of the conference seen as of value in its own right
