    The magic of Liberating Structures isn't in the methods ! It’s in the people who use them to dismantle silos, spark innovation, and transform organizations from the inside out. Looking back at our last gathering in Brussels, the energy was undeniable. Community isn’t just a buzzword—it’s built by those who consistently show up. To our returning participants: You are the foundation of this movement. To honor that energy, we’ve created something just for you: The Ambassador Ticket ! This is our way of saying thank you. We want you back in the room with a friend or a colleague to feel this amazing vibe together. See you in Eindhoven 11-12 June 2026?

  • 🇳🇱 Next Stop: Eindhoven! The Global Gathering is Back. After the incredible energy, self-organization, and breakthrough moments we shared last year in Brussels, the community is ready to do it all over again. We are beyond excited to announce that the Liberating Structures Global Gathering 2026 is officially headed to Eindhoven! 🚀 🔗 Secure your spot: https://lnkd.in/etS32m7g From Brussels to the Brainport If you joined us in Brussels, you know this isn’t a "sit and watch" conference. It’s a high-energy immersion into the structures that are changing how the world collaborates. This year, we’re bringing that same spirit to Eindhoven—the heart of design and innovation—to explore new ways of: Unlocking hidden wisdom within groups. Simplifying the complex (and making it fun). Building lasting networks with practitioners from every corner of the globe. 🧩 Why join us this year? Whether you’re a "Brussels Veteran" looking to deepen your practice or a newcomer ready to ditch the "Presentation-Q&A" format forever, this gathering is designed for you. We’re moving beyond the basics. Expect deep dives into strategy, system-wide change, and the kind of spontaneous "aha!" moments that only happen when this community gets in the same room. The countdown to Eindhoven starts now. Let’s make this even bigger than last year. #LiberatingStructures #LSGlobalGathering #EindhovenEvents #Facilitation #Agile #BrusselsToEindhoven #CommunityBuilding by Re-Evented

    ⚖️ Balance is one of the principles I try to live by — and one way I practice it is by regularly switching roles. Last week, I traded my usual facilitator hat for the learner’s one at the Liberating Structures Global Gathering in Brussels — and it was exactly the kind of energizing reset I needed. But this wasn’t just learning. It was an exchange. 🔁 of practice 💬 of experience 🎭 of emotions 🧠 of ways of thinking ⚡ of inspiration I’m coming back full — with new tools, fresh perspectives, and ideas I’m already weaving into my work. Because staying sharp as a professional means staying curious. And staying balanced means knowing when to lead… and when to listen. #LiberatingStructures #Facilitation #UGrowAcademy #LeadershipDevelopment #LifelongLearning #LSGathering2025

    This was the #LiberatingStructuresGlobalGathering2025 in Brussels. First of all, a huge thank you to Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse, Frederic Vandaele and Graziana Lonero for organising this event and for Re- Evented for supporting this and making this happening! I like the concept of Open Space Technology. It first seems daunting that there is no agenda up front, no known speakers to go to. Then, at a sudden moment, there is an agenda, and you can choose what to attend. Do you want to deep-dive into one topic? Or do you prefer to buzz around and see different topics? No one is going to judge you for it! For myself, I made myself familiar with a lot of Liberating Structures again and I'm thinking I need to use them more. Each one of them is a powerful technique to use. Not everything is suitable for every topic and that is also the power of it, that you can sift trough it and find the best suitable technique. I'm looking at you, #TroikaConsulting! I also loved speaking to a lot of familiar faces, connecting with new people. For me this has become one of the most important things for going to conferences these days. Thanks Robert van Lieshout, Linda van Sinten, Rosemien, Peter Foerts, Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse, Frederic Vandaele, Graziana Lonero, Steven R., Pierre Hervouet, Peter Wynands, Dina De Bock, Olena Pashnina, ☀️ Olena Miroshnichenko, Jan-Willem Rutten and many many others for the inspiring conversations! Anyways, If you want to see the vibe, check this movie!

  • Liberating Structures Global Gathering 2025: Where Innovation Meets Connection in Brussels 🇧🇪 The Liberating Structures Global Gathering is coming to Brussels, Belgium, on June 19-20, 2025! This isn't just another conference—a transformative two-day, entirely in-person experience designed to create a safe space for experimentation, connection, and collective joy. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 Unlike traditional conferences with rigid agendas and one-way presentations, the Liberating Structures Global Gathering embraces an "Options Place" format. This dynamic, participant-driven approach puts attendees at the center of their learning journey. Three reasons why this event is unmissable: 1️⃣ 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹, 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 This gathering breaks down language barriers in remarkable ways. Not a native English speaker? No problem! The flexible format encourages spontaneous language groups to form naturally, allowing participants to connect in whatever language feels most comfortable. 2️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝘄𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 The Options Place format means: 💡 Propose experimental sessions to test new applications 🧠 Learn through active participation with fellow practitioners 🔄 Bring specific challenges and receive tailored feedback What's particularly powerful: Participants don't need to be experts to contribute. Even those new to Liberating Structures can try facilitating and receive valuable feedback in a supportive environment. 3️⃣ 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Every ticket holder receives access to an exclusive ONLINE session with Keith McCandless on May 21st focused on Designing with Liberating Structures—a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the founders before the main event. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 The event features a GDP-based pricing model, making it accessible to participants from different economic backgrounds. Students and unemployed participants can also request ticket reductions. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲: 𝗕𝗲-𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘀 📍 Be-Here Optional pre-conference workshops: June 16-18, 2025 (depending on interest) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 What makes this gathering exceptional is the opportunity to co-create with practitioners worldwide in a format that truly embodies the principles of Liberating Structures—inclusion, distributed control, and invitation to creative adaptation. In today's complex organizational landscapes, these methodologies offer powerful approaches to transformation and engagement. Join the global Liberating Structures community in Brussels!
