The Boise Idea Market
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.
This is going to be well worth attending. Trust me.
Sooo…I’ve decided to attend, in spite of the Honoroble Mr. Nipper’s endorsement (/teasing). However, I seem to have been shunned! Couldn’t score an invite to the Brown Bagger and don’t seem to be able to get a rise out of Tac on this one. Where are ya, Tac!?!
Invites send (to everyone who has already asked Tac for one, and even to Leo). We’re using Renkoo to organize the meetup…so the email will be coming from noreply@renkoo.com. FWIW
Well, I’m in Sweden* and on the 8th I’ll be at the Babson entrepreneurship conference… Have fun, kids!
* or why this week’s submission is tardy, Tac…
Leo, I am afraid I am being unfairly accused here. I know for a fact that I invited you. You may want to check your spam filter. But at least this one got through to you
We look forward to seeing everyone there
Ha! “Unfairly Accused” or is your elevated sense of propriety being acknowledged!?!
