The Medici Summit

January 11th, 2008 by zen

The other day I was contacted by one of Frans Johansson’s people, Kristian Ribberström who blogs at Stories From the Intersection and he asked me, as I have blogged on The Medici Effect a number of times, to mention the upcoming The Medici Summit on innovation and creativity to my readers. A description by Johansson:

“It is also high-noon time for me to announce what promises to be an amazing event! The Medici Summit on March 3rd and 4th next year will be unusual in its structure, exciting, inspiring and just plain fun. It is now open for registration and I am really very excited about this. It has long been a desire of mine to put together a conference that mimics the Medici Effect where people can come in with their own ideas and leave with those ideas recombined with someone else’s. There will be awesome speakers and plenty of opportunity to connect with others (some of them will be surprises and are not outlined exactly in the schedule). Very, very excited about this one! It is open for registration right now so head over there and register“

    I wonder if they’ll offer scholarships or reduced registration for those without a couple thousand spare Euros lying around….

    the real question is: will zenpundit be attending and/or presenting? 🙂

    LOL! Neither the former nor the latter was offered or asked by either party. Just doing them a good turn ’cause I liked the book.

    The last big talk I gave was probably six years ago for a DePaul sponsored conference on career ed. to which I was invited due to a program I helped develop that I’m no longer affiliated with. Since then, nothing larger than around 50-100 here and there.

    The Medici should be able to afford honoraria…

    LOL!

    Yeah, I suppose that goes to the point of being one of the de Medici, now doesn’t it. :o)
