Matt Homann (www.realBIGthinking.com) will be coming to town on June 8th to speak to the Idaho State Bar Association. (more info here). While he's in town Steve Nipper and I have persuaded him to do an "Idea Market" That evening.

What is an Idea Market?ɬ¢?¢‚Ǩ?æ?Ǭ¢? Think brainstorming + collaboration + networking + happy hour. The brain child of innovation consultant, retreat facilitator and conference planner Matt Homann, an Idea Market is part think tank, part focus group and part social club. At the Idea Market, attendees bring their business challenges, questions and (of course) ideas, and share them with some of the most creative and generous people in the community as they participate in fun exercises designed to cram the most innovation into a two-hour collaborative experience.

Who Should Come: If you are a blogger, entrepreneur, speaker, consultant, designer, webmaster, writer, artist, salesperson, or technologist, you?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢ll enjoy the Boise Idea Market. We only ask that you be passionate about sharing ideas and helping others. Everything else will take care of itself.

When: Friday, June 8, 2007 at 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Where: Louie?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢s Pizza & Italian Restaurant, 620 W Idaho St, Boise, ID 83702-5930

Cost: $10.00 (to cover pizza & soda & tip)

How To Attend: We?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢ll only have room for around 35 people for the Idea Market, if we get a lot more RSVP's we'll look for another location. We?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢ll use Renkoo to handle the invite process. Email me (tac@techboise.com) and I?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢ll send you an invite.
