Mindcamp Creativity Weekend

Just 214 Days until the next Mindcamp!
Toronto's Seventh Creativity Weekend
Thursday to Sunday Sept 10 to 13, 2009
Cedar Glen Discovery Campus
(45 minutes NW of Toronto)

Mindcamp is a four-day micro-university for personal, professional, and organizational creativity — a feast of 90-minute concurrent sessions presented by the best creativity leaders in North America and around the world.

Mindcamp exposes more than 100 creative people to a wide range of perspectives on the research and practice of deliberate creativity. And on top of our scheduled programs, there are evening salons, dialog sessions, music, dancing, campfires, and just plain fun.

Interested? You can read about last year's Mindcamp programs here and presenters here. This will give you a flavour of what is to come in September! Registration will begin in May; if you'd like to stay in touch please add your name to the contact list using the box below:

Important note: Mindcamp is non-profit, and we endeavour to plan our fees to cover costs only. Any income left over from Mindcamp is distributed to charity (like Facilitators Without Borders or Art Building Children's Dreams), and of course we retain a little for planning next year's Mindcamp.

"I was expecting Mindcamp to be dedicated to the process of coming up with novel ideas; whacky ideas; quirky ideas, zany ideas; unorthodox ideas and the unpolished; the esoteric, and the self-indulgent... the biggest revelation for me was to observe how the session moderators were able to harness the talents of the participants. The moderators were skilled because of what they were able to accomplish, rather than what they professed to know... For marketers to become useful to corporations we need to develop the skills needed to lead, facilitate and communicate. During Mindcamp the depth of the discussions was astonishing -- and creative. And my o my, was that ever refreshing."
— Tom Beakbane, Beakbane Retail Connections
