+# Open Space guide for PyLadies Conference 2025
+
+## What's an Open Space?
+
+An Open Space is a dynamic, self-organized session where attendees come
+together to discuss topics, collaborate on projects, learn new skills, or just
+networking in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
+
+## Who can join or lead an Open Space?
+
+If you're planning to attend PyLadiesCon 2025, you're welcome to participate in
+or facilitate an Open Space session! This is your chance to share knoweldge,
+ask questions, or discuss about topics that intrigues you with fellow
+conference attendees.
+
+## How to organize an Open Space?
+
+To help us manage the logistics of the Open Spaces better, we kindly ask you to
+send as an email ([email protected]) if you're planning on leading one
+during the conference, with the following information:
+
+* Name of the Open Space
+* Description of the topic to discuss
+* Desired time slot (Please use https://time.is/UTC for the time)
+* Name of the person in charge
+* Email of the person in charge
+
+Please keep in mind that we won't be approving any Open Spaces if they don't
+align with our Code of Conduct.
+
+
+## Where will the Open Spaces take place?
+
+We'll set up dedicated voice (and optional video) channels in our Discord
+server for the Open Spaces. This way, everyone can easily join and participate
+from anywhere they're comfortable.
+
+## How long does Open Spaces take?
+
+We encourage your open space to be at least one hour,
+in some cases it could take more but we need to check availability
+on the overall schedule.
+
+## Need assistance with running an Open Space?
+
+Our organizer team is more than happy to help answer any questions you might
+have about Open Space. Send us an email at **[email protected]** if you
+need guidance or have any concerns.
