Mindcamp Creativity Weekend

Just 69 Days until the next Mindcamp!
Toronto's 7th Creativity Weekend
Thursday to Sunday Sept 10 to 13, 2009
Cedar Glen Discovery Campus
(45 minutes NW of Toronto)

"A great mix of personal and professionally-oriented material. Super location. Thank you for doing it, and for keeping it so inexpensive!" — Cliff A. Smith, RBC Financial Group, South Carolina

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 world-wide.

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.

New This Year

Half-Day sessions: In addition to our regular 90 minute sessions, we're going to include a limited number of half-day programs.

Pecha Kucha: Pecha kucha (pronounced pechak-cha) describes a presentation of no more than 20 slides, with each slide on screen no more than 20 seconds. We're scheduling 10 Pecha Kucha sessions each on Friday and Saturday evening.

Mindcamp shuttle! We now have inexpensive shuttle vans taking people to Mindcamp from the airport or from downtown Toronto on Thursday afternoon, and back again on Sunday. Click here for more info.

Yurts! The economic crisis inspires us to offer space in the Yurts at a drastically lower price. Click here for more info.

Where do I go from here?

To find out more about Mindcamp:

"I can't thank you enough for organizing such a totally awesome collection of seminars, creative people and utter FUN.... Mindcamp was one of the best and most rewarding experiences I have ever participated in my entire professional career.... I really felt like an integral part of the community while I was there and take away an entire community of like minded people as close friends when I left — PRICELESS!" — Lee Kitchen, Walt Disney World, Florida

All income from Mindcamp is distributed to charity (our favourite is Facilitators Without Borders), and of course we retain a little for planning next year's Mindcamp.
