Imagine attending a session with no pre-defined panels, no required preparation or even moderators—a complete blank canvas that will allow attendees to share their opinions in creative and open, but confidential discussions.

That was the goal of the Open Space meeting at the EiG 2017, happening on Oct. 31.

Open Space is an organic meeting format that Clarion Gaming has been testing for five years at its select closed industry meetings in London and Las Vegas. The meeting promises to deconstruct the traditional conference, leaving behind a space for creativity and free-flowing conversations.

At EiG 2017’s Open Space meeting, which will run for half a day, attendees will be brainstorming topics and ideas around “Business Transformation and Adaptation to Changing Consumer Demands.” An Open Space report capturing the notes from discussions will be distributed to the meeting participants (only) after the event.
