| 12 | +## What's an Open Space? |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +An Open Space is a dynamic, self-organized session where attendees come |
| 15 | +together to discuss topics, collaborate on projects, learn new skills, or just |
| 16 | +networking in a welcoming and inclusive environment. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Who can join or lead an Open Space? |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +If you're planning to attend PyLadiesCon 2025, you're welcome to participate in |
| 21 | +or facilitate an Open Space session! This is your chance to share knoweldge, |
| 22 | +ask questions, or discuss about topics that intrigues you with fellow |
| 23 | +conference attendees. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## How to organize an Open Space? |
| 26 | + |

| 28 | +we kindly ask you to submit your Open Space proposal to [Pretalx](https://pretalx.com/pyladiescon-2025/cfp?access_code=GJG3WCSWNSESYNDUBMD7ZXVWAZKFXBHDopenspaces). |
| 29 | +Please keep in mind that we won't be approving any Open Spaces if they don't |
| 30 | +align with our Code of Conduct. |

| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Where will the Open Spaces take place? |

| 39 | +We'll set up dedicated voice (and optional video) channels in our Discord |
| 40 | +server for the Open Spaces. This way, everyone can easily join and participate |
| 41 | +from anywhere they're comfortable. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## How long does Open Spaces take? |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +We encourage your open space to be at least one hour, |
| 46 | +in some cases it could take more but we need to check availability |
| 47 | +on the overall schedule. |
| 48 | + |
