When we asked people what they wanted from Convergence 99,
here's what they said:
- We want to save time and money finding the best resources,
ideas, and processes available.
- We want practical ideas we can implement immediately.
- We want to spend time with and learn from the leaders in the field of
organizational innovation.
- We want to talk to people who are implementing innovation
in their organizations so we can hear what's working and
what's not.
- We want to learn new techniques that will make us more effective
and help us make our teams more effective.
- We want to build a network of peers who can answer questions and
provide guidance when we're faced with new challenges.
- We want to know how to implement changes when we return to the
"real world."
- We want to have fun and recharge our batteries.
Whew! That's a lot þ but you'll find it all at Convergence 99...and more! To prove it, check out our Simply Outrageous Guarantee. If you don't personally receive all of the guaranteed benefits listed below...or if, for any reason, you don't think this is one of the top 5 conferences you've attended...ever þ we'll refund your registration fee on the spot, no questions asked!
Keep all the materials, keep the free set of audio tapes, keep all the gifts you've received from other attendees (in previous years, attendees have received everything from t-shirts to miners' coveralls and hand crocheted finger puppets to circuit board clip boards), keep everything as our way of saying thanks for giving us a try.
Simply Outrageous Guaranteed Benefits:
- Gather 27 practical, new ideas or 1 great idea that more than pays for the conference (we even give you a worksheet to keep track of them and to make sure you get at least 27, we've collected hundreds of ideas from our speakers on the Convergence 99 website þ check them out now and you can probably gather 27 before the conference even starts!)
- Hold a minimum of 3 in depth conversations with the leading thinkers, consultants, writers and practitioners in the field of organizational innovation þ about issues specific to your organization or particular challenges. (We'll help you identify and meet exactly the people who can help you with your challenges and concerns...through the extensive conference website and your Learning Group Facilitators, the IN Directors, Associates and Staff who are always willing to help. You can even start these conversations before the conference...the attendees-only website gives you detailed information about the speakers so you can call or email them immediately...and for the entire year of 1999!)
- Have a minimum of 5 conversations with change agents from other organizations about what they're doing to implement innovation in their organizations. (You can attend up to four Real World Roundtable discussions
-- 10 - 20 minutes of briefing by some of the most exciting innovation practitioners around followed by rapid fire questions and answers. That leaves one conversation for lunch, or one of the extra long breaks, or one of the experiential breakout sessions or one of the facilitated learning group sessions, or after hours in the bar, or... well, you get the picture!)
- Learn 2 new tools or techniques that you can add to your tool kit. (Our brand new "Workshop within a Conference" format offers you eight in depth, half-day sessions and the twelve 90- minute experiential sessions will give you a wealth of opportunities to learn and practice new techniques, )
- Power up your network with at least 7 new associates. (Start early with our website IN Café and you can probably double or triple that number!)
- Create an action plan for implementing change when you return to the real world. (You will be part of a facilitated Learning Group that will meet every day to talk about how to accomplish your specific goals and turn that into an action plan.)
- Have fun and recharge your batteries. (If you can't have fun and recharge your batteries with this incredible group of committed, sharing people, at a 200-acre natural paradise sitting on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, participating in non-stop learning and networking extravaganza featuring over 45 experience-rich, insightful, captivating leaders in the field of organizational innovation, we should just give you your money back now!)
What we can't guarantee: a specific savings in time and money...but, in your opinion, if Convergence 99: Breakthrough Innovation hasn't more than paid for itself in personal and professional development and in new, implementable ideas for your organization, just tell us and we'll write you a refund check on the spot.
P.S. We're not crazy! We don't want to refund a bunch of money but somewhere along the way, we realized that if we were going to make promises, we'd better be prepared to back them up in the same way you're paying for this event...tangibly with real dollars. So, we've very carefully designed this conference and the supporting information network around it to deliver the guaranteed benefits. If we haven't done our job, you deserve your money back!
