Warmly,

Juanita

Hello

Thanks for it's positive answer ( sorry my english is bad) , So my plan are....

First I made a copyright "openmind kfe3 , to protect the idea (and design) all around the world , but i am open to work on it with associates truly involve in the "CO" and world cafe, if needed. ( look www.openhive.eu there is the first step of my idea)

Then I have done a Design Book for the ideal venue for a Manager and his team (small venue 200 square meter max) and i am working with some coach and designer to set up a nice presentation and a business plan for some investor or to my actual shareolder ( i own a small communication agency in internal communication/event)

In the same time , I bought your Book then i have seen the représentative of AI in France and SOLE in France some of your aficionados coach to explain my concept ( everybody said YES! Go for it ) and I test the idea with more than 60 HR or internal communicator in différent kind of organisation and business.

Now i must find "cash "... ( rent the place, fix the design, decoration , accomodation, marketing, commercial web, prospection , partnership etc...) the Space and the " must be different , there are lot of venues in Paris .

Objectif : launch the first one in April inside Paris .... launch the 20 th with you guys in 2016 inside NY ....( my dream..)

I will love to share the project with some aficionados , i am not a coach or a consultant , i am a pro of Event and i believe in design and dedicated venues to liberate the ideas and the conversation....

see you soon

Hi Xavier...

There is a guy in Venezuela, Esteban Reyes, who opened a Cafe called Cafe Con Ser (Cafe with Being) in Caracas. You can find him here in the on-line community under "People"/advanced search and send him a message regarding what he's learned and how they are doing.

I've also sent your message to Nancy Margulies who you can contact as well who did some early experiements in St. Louis, Missouri with a related idea.

Best of luck to you on this fun adventure....and please let us know how it is unfolding. With warmest regards,

Juanita
