Ideation Conference 2011

This March I’m joining up with a phenomenal bunch of nonprofit leaders, CEO and supporters for The Ideation Conference.  The Ideation Conference is the next step for Idea Campers, the attitude of sharing and improvement is the same but the conference itself steps it up a bit.

This years lineup features a gathering of leaders making a difference in their organization, community and their world.

From the site:

The Ideation Conference is a unique conference experience that gathers some of the most innovative thinkers and practitioners in the field of doing good (e.g., businesses, organizations, etc.) in order to help fellow practitioners develop thoughts and tangible next steps for greater impact in their respective work.

This conference could be called bootcamp, or a shine and polish but bring your team to see the man (or woman) behind the curtain and learn what motivates them, what they’re thinking and what’s on the horizon.

I’m thrilled to be joining this group of movers and shakers and every time I get to see this bunch it’s a great time of joy and lots of laughs – and then I learn something!

This year Ideation has added a day after the conference for a special session with Scott Belsky, CEO of Behance and author of Making Ideas Happen. I’ve already signed up to attend because The 99% conference was SOLD OUT and I want the inside track to the latest info.. And I think you should know about it too.

In the coming weeks I’ll share a bit more about my workshop. Join me for the Ideation Conference and then stick around for i2i – See you then!
