<p>Hello everybody.</p>
<p>I just found the post below in a Linked in group :<br>

Group: Systems Thinking World Subject: Systems Thinking World Update - 13.08.06</p>
<p>g'Day,</p>
<p>Hope you're having a great summer. I've been somewhat out of touch because of the work on Beyond Connecting the Dots. It's coming along well though I think we seriously underestimated the amount of work involved.</p>
<p>23rd Annual Systems Thinking in Action Conference Nov 14-16 - <a href="http://bit.ly/11KJ56v">http://bit.ly/11KJ56v</a> ============================== =============================== Earlier this year I was very sad to hear that Pegasus Communications had closed their doors. They had valiantly carried the Systems Thinking banner forward for 22 years. While I had never managed to get to one of their conferences I heard great things about them from attendees. As such, I was quite pleased to find out today that there will be a Systems Thinking in Action Conference Nov 14-16, 2013 thanks to the efforts of Siraj Sirajuddin.</p>
<p>I've had couple of conversations with Siraj and he seems to be most passionate about this undertaking. Passionate enough that I have agreed to host for the Wed evening get together. And, sometime Thu or Fri I will present an update on the ongoing endeavors of Systems Thinking World along with an update on Beyond Connecting the Dots <a href="http://kck.st/YATKOM">http://kck.st/YATKOM</a> While the agenda is still being formulated I'm sure it will be an engaging event.</p>
<p>The conference is being held at the National Conference Center outside DC, <a href="http://bit.ly/11KKj1s">http://bit.ly/11KKj1s</a> , Early bird registration, now through August 30th, is only $899, and includes registration fee, hotel room, food, beverage and supplies. <a href="http://bit.ly/11KMUsb">http://bit.ly/11KMUsb</a></p>
<p>Sounds like a great opportunity for some of us that have been exchanging thoughts for quite a while to actually spend some time together and get to know each other a bit better.</p>
<p>be well, Gene</p>

Hi Sandy,<br>
<br>
I recall that Heidi Nobantu Saul and Kaliya Hamlin collaborated on a<br>
kind of spreadsheet comparing many aspects of a range of meeting<br>
designs from Unconferences to Open Spaces and other similar practices.<br>
<br>
It was brilliant and worth sharing in my opinion. Let's see if we can find it.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if either of them are on this list -- I'll add Heidi in the cc box.<br>
<br>
Kaliya hosts <a href="http://www.unconference.net" target="_blank">www.unconference.net</a>, which is a high quality site.<br>
<br>
warmly<br>
<br>
