Innovation Society Meetings
What happens at an Innovation Society Meeting?
As an organization dedicated to supporting change we would be hypocritical to enforce an overly static structure. The meetings are flexibly constructed of (but not limited to) some of the following elements: presentations of best practices, interactive workshops, problem solving sessions, exposure to arts including musical performances, and the inimitable yet ubiquitous networking that seems to occur everywhere in Silicon Valley scheduled or not.
The loose structure begins with some informal conversation, usually followed by brief introductory remarks, and a head start on dinner before the interactive presentation which can be business, technical or artistic -- and evolves into an interactive dialog and participatory session.
Our speakers fully expect to listen as well as present, and they are encouraged to bring some hypothesis requiring testing or models which would benefit from additional external validation.
Join us, to celebrate the nonlinear, non-obvious and untraditional.
It has been suggested many times that we capture these interactions on video and post them to our web site. If any of you have a digicam we would welcome capture under creative commons guidelines.
