Event Calendar and Open Space
The IDEC 2008 event calendar and Open-space has just gone online. Read on to find out what's happening and how you can become involved in IDEC schedule planning.
All events exist in
one of two categories. Items which have already been given a time and
location can be found on the Conference Calendar. Newly created items
exist in the Open Space calendar.
Conference Calendar
The IDEC 2008 Conference Calendar is now online! There's only a few items in it at the moment (see below for an explanation) such as the Opening Ceremony on Monday, August 11, and Dr. Gabor Maté's keynote address on Saturday, August 16th.Open Space
The
organizational model for IDEC 2008 is based on the principles of
collaboration, consensus, and self-organization. Accordingly much of
the content of the conference is to be determined in the coming weeks,
via an online "Open Space" in which interested participants can suggest or announce plans for sessions, panels, workshops, performances, etc.
Comments have been enabled for each session proposal, so that a
conversation can develop which might help refine the focus of a topic,
merge two or more topics into a single session, and so on. As the
proposals are accepted by the interest of participants, they will be
slotted into the calendar. Site managers will assign times and
locations to the items in the Open Space calendar and they will move to
the Conference Calendar.

Windsor House Live
This
is the IDEC program geared to the interest of younger participants
(aged 6 and up) and run by volunteer alumni, current teens, parents and
staff from Windsor House School.
many items on the Conference Calendar will have the tag "WH-Live",
indicating that they are geared to the interests of a wide age range.
All IDEC participants are welcome to attend any event, but we recognize
that younger participants are not likely to take an interest in hour
long speeches and power points. With this in mind, WH-Live is a series
of events for all ages.
Speakers and Special guests
IDEC 08 will include a series of formal Keynote Speaker and Special Guests. You will find their presentation on the Conference Calendar as they are listing
