      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
