Thank you David, John and Hector for your valuable comments.?
To confirm, the conference has a majority of speakers and panel presentations intermixed with 'small group discussions', Q&A and follow up with the speakers / panel. There will also be 1-2 working sessions of participants where I had imagined breakout groups.?
I have trialled Remo once with a handful of people. Perhaps I need to try again to see if it will meet these needs.?
In terms of the team, there are 2 tech hosts at the moment. Depending on what I discover, the team may need to be enhanced.?
I'll keep searching and happy to hear from anyone?else with large conference?experience using breakouts for discussions after presentations.?
Thank you again,?

Gillian: I have a few suggestions: - See if you can determine what changed between the time period before the intervention and the time period after. It may be due to the facilitator or something else but see if you can narrow your focus to some effects you can measure. Then you have to determine if they were improvements. As C. S. Lewis observed, "You can break eggs without making an omelet."
- Complex social systems wander and oscillate so you may want to look at a few time periods before to see if the "after" state is a return to an old state or the system is visiting a new state.
- Can you establish a benchmark of similar complex social systems and evaluate what other external forces were at work on them collectively. This may allow you to tease out some of the facilitation effects from other environmental / background changes.
- One book you may find useful is ¡°¡± by . He takes an ecological perspective (he calls it ecolate). He has a couple of rules of thumb that I think are equally applicable to complex social systems
- ¡°The world is a complex of systems so intricately
interconnected that we can seldom be very confident that a proposed
intervention in this system of systems will produce the consequences we
want.
- ?¡°The natural world is organized into a web of life more
complex than we know. We have only a limited ability to predict what
will happen in time as the result of any intervention, however well
meant, in the natural order of things. Caution and humility are the
hallmarks of the ecolate attitude toward the world.¡±
- ¡°Whatever plan of action we adopt in our attempt to remake the world,
our usual first step is to pin a laudatory label on what we are doing.
We may call it development, cure, correction, improvement, help, or
progress. We load untested conclusions onto ill-stated premises. But
every intervention in an existing system is, for certain, only an
intervention. We will make progress faster if we honestly call the
changes ¡°interventions¡± only, until an audit shows what we have actually
done. Needless to say, such honesty will be resisted by most promoters
of change.¡±
Final thought: "Nothing is so irrevocably neglected as an opportunity of daily occurrence.¡± Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

It¡¯s an important area of research. Marv Weisbord, cocreator of Future Search, ran what they called the ¡°ripple project¡± a few years back. Marv interviewed people he had worked with 15+ years earlier. He wrote about it in the revised edition of Productive Workplaces. His quick summary:
Forty percent of the organizations I wrote about in Productive Workplaces, including some "big successes," no longer exist. Only two of ten have the same owners. That's why we will do best to make the most of ?each encounter and let the cosmos take care of ever after. Each time we do principles over techniques whatever the time frame we make the world a little better than it was the day before.
BTW, have you considered complexity theory as a framework rather than systems theory? I think it transcends and includes systems theory. You can find more in??or my?. You can get a taste from this?, which is an update from the way I looked at it in the book.

Two things come to mind.?
One is a developmental evaluation which uses a facilitative
style in order to evaluate outcomes over time?
The second is the work of Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick, which is
geared towards training but I find can also be applied to any
facilitative session as the outcome is often to build capacity
towards a goal?
I haven't given you any links to articles but these two starting

There are many ways to structure the conference, possibly using
more conference oriented software like
And using the ThoughtExchange for information interaction and
gathering. But it will depend the overall structure. Do you have
presentations mixed with discussions? What are the expected
outcomes?? Are you having co-facilitators and how many?
Scaling Zoom ad infinitum sometimes is not the most appropriate
way to engage a really big number of participants. Using GDSS like
ThoughtExchange, MeetingSphere, Stormz, etc. can help but it does
depends on the expectations of the client.
I'd highly recommend Remo.co as well if the engagement is random
between participants.

everyone,?
I'd love to pick up this thread on doing larger online
gatherings. I typically do 100 people max workshops. However
recently I agreed to support a 1.5 day conference that could
have approx 500 people. My go-to has been zoom and breakouts
for participant dialogue (note taking in google docs / mural)
however I'm having a hard time imagining this with 500 people.
Is anyone willing to share their experience with large groups?
I use a tool called ThoughtExchange where people can share
ideas and then rate others in the moment to come up with (for
example) questions after a plenary. This software scales and I
see how it will work with large groups. I would love to know
more about the breakout function with larger groups and your
thoughts.?
Thank you in advance for any sharing on the topic!?

One of the Zoom challenges with that many people is that the maximum number of groups in Zoom is 50 (unless that¡¯s changed recently). That means breakouts of 10 people which is substantially less effective than 4 or 5, and means each breakout has to be a lot longer. If participants don¡¯t have an opportunity to speak, they tend to get cranky! Cheers,

You could also have a go with ?- you can¡¯t see who gave inputs unless you use a form that collects that information. People can give input via any range of devices that connect to the internet.?
We love using it, as there are a huge range of types of ways to capture the input (word bubble, 2 dimension sliders, 2 axis, 4 axis, dots, free text, word bubble etc¡)

Re: Virtual workshop with non-English speakers
I'm doing this right now. In order to ensure that I give the non-English speakers the same quality of experience that the English speakers get, I'm offering a separate workshop in Spanish, led by a native speaker who I've trained in the content (and is in my field so knows the lingo). I'll have a separate interpreter for ME so that I can stay on top of what's being said. I'll also have a note taker who can record in Spanish and translate after.?
