Chapter 78: Who You Gonna Call? Solutionists!
Despite the tardy nature of these last two posts in respects to their impending immediacy, I want to cordially invite everyone to another event which is happening this Wednesday in Minneapolis. Many of you may remember this as the conference I was going to speak at about the work in the coast, but we had the uncanny luck to have a couple of early invites have serendipitous cancellations in their schedules and I will most likely be speaking at Vol. 2 this summer.
For a little background Solutions is a group started by two colleagues who have since graduated from the Minnesota. They have started up a website which promotes interaction and are sponsoring a series of talks, the first of which is set to occur this Wednesday, May 2nd. Here is a short explanation:
Local designers, artists, & activists are on the forefront of a tidal wave of change; yet they have no place to gather, socialize, or share their ideas. Solutions is the space for presenting these new ideas & drawing awareness to existing solutions. The core event is a rapid-fire exchange of ideas consisting of short presentations called “Solution Sets.�
Each presenter is allowed: 20 images x 20 seconds (each) = 6 minutes, 40 seconds
This short format keeps presentations concise, generates high levels of interest, & gives many people a chance to present at each event. While the event is local, the conversation will be global; Solutions will broadcast the event through the web in easily digestible idea packages.
Please come and join us at the event. Seating is limited, so go to their website: SOLUTIONS: twin cities and order tickets now (they cost less than a movie!) and enjoy this unique gathering. See you there!
