Fw: [Ailist] Imagine Chicago needs you! urgent good news

[Peggy Holman]

I LOVE that this conference, coming from folks who have been strongly guided
by Appreciative Inquiry, will be held in Open Space!  Is anyone on the list
involved?

Imagine Chicago is eagerly preparing to host its first international Imagine
conference on Sept. 13- 18, 2002 in Chicago. This will be a unique
intergenerational gathering of learning activists from all over the world,
including Chicago, India, Scotland, Serbia, Russia, Singapore, South Africa,
UK, Chile, Denmark, Australia, Pakistan, Israel, Detroit, and Los Angeles.
These passionate change agents, including many young adults, will be
arriving in Chicago ready to share their distinctive stories and approaches.
The conference is designed to foster powerful learning exchange through the
use of open space technology and the arts. This will be an uncommon
opportunity to design and help create space (physical, mental, relational,
electronic) for a global worldwide movement of community imagination and
transformation. Imagine Chicago will debut at this conference a "possibility
publication" in which we will share the core conceptual frameworks, tools
and resources of our own work over the past ten years. We will be hosted at
the world-renowned Field Museum in the Maori meeting house, a venue highly
appropriate to the coming together of our world in ways that are both
ancient and new.

If you have been imagining yourself  participating in the IC conference, I
strongly encourage you to ACT now to take advantage of the "imagination in
action" registration discount we are making available only until August 12.
For those who register by August 12, the learning exchange registration fee
will be discounted from $450 to only $250 (and this includes a ticket to the
10th anniversary gala celebration on September 13). Registration forms are
available online at http://www.imaginechicago.org/conference.html.
We are also able to make available excellent accommodations both at a
state-of-the-art hostel right at Grant Park near the Museum ($24/night!) or
at the Congress Hotel across from the hostel ($109/night). These
accommodations are only available at these prices through August 15th so it
is imperative you act now if you plan to come and take advantage of these
deals. We so hope you can participate.

Please feel free to call or email me with any questions. We look forward to
your participation with great hope and expectation.
