SoCraTes France & Rennes 2026

I have had the luxury to attend not one but two Open Space conferences in a row, first as a facilitator for SoCraTes France, a 3 days unconference hosted in the beautiful Château de Massillan, near Orange ; then as a participant at SoCraTes Rennes, a one day event in the capital city of Britanny I have been attending for the past four years.

Here is a short summary of what I gathered from those two events, in no particular order, starting with SoCraTes France.

And here are some notes from sessions I attended at SoCraTes Rennes.

But of course those notes fail to convey the joy and energy of all the side conversations I had at lunch, breakfast, or dinner, or in doorways and alleys in between sessions, or around a beer, which form the best part of Open space conferences.
