Honorable T-shirt swap
Nynke March 30th, 2007
I happened to have the honor of witnessing a wonderful exchange between the IAF Benelux and the Agile Open organisers. A sponsoring swap.
Logo’s are to be exchanged on the IAF Benelux 2007 conference and the Agile Open conference websites-in-the-making and a conference-student-exchange of two people between the two respective conferences is to take place. Meaning, two of us go for free to their conference, and two of them come for free to our conference.
For the Agile Open side in the negotion, Willem van den Ende has been asked if he will organise and run an Agile Open @ IAF Benelux workshop in the morning. Who else will come with him still remains a mystery for now. Since I am co-organising the Open Space in the afternoon with Jan Lelie of the IAF, and Andrew Ballance will also be there, putting on an Appreciative Inquiry workshop in the morning, the Open Space in the afternoon will have an excellent experienced facilitator team.
Of course, in return, I will assist Willem and Andrew in the morning. Even if that means staying out of their way! That is negotiable. 
Let’s keep on swapping those T-shirts !!!
So …
the two students in this cross training and gaining from the Agile side will do a workshop on Open Space as guests of the IAF Benelux.
I can’t help but wonder what the two representatives of the IAF are going to bring to Agile Open in return?
… and of course Agile will reciprocate hospitalities enjoyed …
I’m going to bring Marc Evers as second T-Shirt swapper
