Registration for the Ideation Conference officially opens today!

As mentioned in a previous post, we will be hosting our annual conference in Chicago next May 7-9, 2012. You can now check out some of the presenters (with several more to be announced in the next few weeks!), venue (absolutely stunning!), and schedule for the conference on our website.

What’s New for the Conference?

Our team has added some new experiences for next year’s event including:

  • New Pre-Conference Intensives on May 7th
    • As a conference focused on sharing and implementing ideas well, we felt it was important to add an extra day to the event for those who want to dive deeper into a relevant topic in the area of social good. This is why we are excited to introduce pre-conference intensives that will be led by thought leaders and practitioners in a 6 hour format. Yes, six hours!
    • We are offering 5-6 key intensives that will provide companies and organizations relevant knowledge, emerging perspectives, and practical skill-sets for developing social good in our world.
    • You may add this to your conference registration that will allow you to participate in all three days of the event or register solely for one of the pre-conference intensives.
  • New Networking Gatherings
    • One of the main highlights of our conference each year is the networking of participants. Well, we’ve been working on new ways to better facilitate connections during our event! Our hope is that you will walk away with several new relationships that will lead to further friendship and collaborative opportunities in between our events. As always, our team will be available to make introductions for you with other great companies and organizations seeking to collaborate in your passions.
  • New Interactive Workshop Experiences
    • Over the first two years of our event, participants have given us great insights into making workshops better. We’ve listened to your input and will be rolling out improved ways to engage the presenters and others attending the workshops. We think the workshop experience will be unlike another conference you’ve attended. Yes, we are working hard to make it remarkable!

We have no doubt that Ideation Conference 2012 will be an amazing event!

Our team has been deeply moved by the overwhelming support, exposure, and buy-in from influencers, leading brands & organizations, and people all over the world. Over the next few weeks, we will be announcing some exciting partnerships, sponsors, and new opportunities for those participating in the event. Stay tuned!

Personal Note: I see next year’s event as the fruit of much collaborative effort over the past several years among multiple individuals, brands, and organizations. It will be a beautiful expression of the hope we possess in making our world a better place.

Don’t miss out next year! I’d love to see you in Chicago. Be sure to register by January 20th to take full advantage of our lowest registration prices while supplies last! I promise that you won’t regret it!
