Sofia (London) has run the reflection session based on the U-Process for the last two IMAGINE conferences. Her deeper mission is about creating thriving communities. She uses her own path to creating the work ‘that has her name on it’, to support others in doing so too. See her website for more.

Alex (Berlin) has chaired the first two IMAGINE conferences and co-designed the second and third conference. Furthermore, as a speaker he shared his own experiences on the conferences. Alex is convinced about the possibility to create career paths that combine profits and principles. He sees the necessity to build up networks for young professionals to get in dialogue about social change as well as to create platforms for personal reflection and mutual inspiration. See his profile on think tank 30 for more.

Anne-Claire (Amsterdam) participated in the 3rd IMAGINE in 2007 and realised that quitting her job not long ago had not been such a bad choice. Being passionate about intercultural communication and conflict resolution, she hopes to combine these two fields in a next job.

    I left a comment for you on ODE about your excellent post on your experience at an Open Space Online conference a couple of years ago. I wonder if you might contact me about permission to quote from that post in a piece I am doing on my blog about OS Online.

    Thanks for considering this request. I’m also very interested in the networks you are active in and look forward to learning more about them.

    John
