This evening marked the first of what I hope will be many insightful, interactive “real people” meetings for what has become known as the TomorrowToday.biz Talent Community.
Much has been said and done electronically leading up to this point, as the Talent Community has provided an accessible, interactive format for people interested in developing a relationship with the TT.biz network. However, the next, and most natural step was to connect face to face to integrate a human element into an already flourishing virtual community. Primi Piatti (The Zone, Rosebank) was our venue for the evening…
We began with a few introductions, a couple of drinks (which included a gargantuan-sized Milo) and progressed to some more intensive discussion around the potential of the Talent Community, where we imagine it going and what we’d all like to get out of it. It was good to hear voices from all walks of life and diverse frames of reference. one thing in common – we don’t believe we have to work the way we always have. We want something bigger and better. Something of meaning. In short, I believe we’re all looking for significance.
We touched on the power of Social Network Analysis, the dream of a TomorrowToday.biz University and Blogging and Wiki media.
Watch this space – more on the Talent Community to come soon!
Talent Community: Face-to-Face
A great evening had I. Thanks for those that attended. Sorry to those that couldn’t make it. Looking forward to connecting with others soon (wherever you might be)
Mike, sorry but none of the random photos I took are worth putting on the blog. I’ll bring a decent digital camera next time (with a flash!).
Um, Graeme, no objections from me!
It was good to put some faces to the names (and stage names!). It was also good to see what is becoming of The Age of Talent … we are the Rock Stars of Talent (as ‘ol Tom is want to say).
Great evening. Great people. Great expectations.
Seriously naas evening and very comforting to know that blogging acquaintances are pretty normal and not axe-murderers, raving lunatics or stalkers. Although it might be too soon to tell.
Pity it wasn’t longer as there wasn’t time for some ‘lively’ discussions and really getting into people’s heads.. So I look forward to the next one. But that’s if Barry was able to do the money thing properly.
And I look forward to the next installment – think it’s going to a ton of fun!!!
Had a great time, good to see the “community” Looking forward to getting the idea juices flowing and putting opportunities together. Maybe we need to have a central place to store email addresses, tel nr’s etc
Aggeno, wanna see some photos!
There is still in my eyes the chance that all the “people” are only highly intelligent, highly advanced computer programs with human-sounding names attached, running a very impressive website and an automatic blogsite 🙂
As a brand new member of the community, I must say that I really enjoyed meeting so many like minded people. I hope there will be many similar functions in future!
Damn – really wanted to be there (in the plane returning from China) and it sounds like it was a lot of fun. Will have to make the next one – looking forward 🙂
