The Applied Improvisation Network " is a community of practioners and clients who value the use of improvisation skills in organsiations." They are planning a conference October 13th to 16th. I have been playing around with collegues with improv - online and offline, so this caught my eye. (Unfortunately, I can't go due to schedule conflicts. I hope someone blogs it!) Here is their line up:

• Two pre-conferences, one on facilitation with Thiagi (details here), and another on accelerated learning and improvisation with Sue Walden, Talia and Gail Heidenhain from the International Alliance for Learning
  
• 18 concurrent sessions on Thursday and Friday, and two keynotes
  
• a field trip to see several local improvisation troupeson one stage (Thursday night)
  
• a banquet and improv jam (Friday night)
  
• a Playback performance to complete the conference on Saturday afternoon
  
• and an Open Space session all-day Saturday. On the final day of the conference, you are invited to join all attendees in exploring how we can put our conference insights into action. Using Open Space Technology*, this special session will allow you to engage with others and further the improvisation ideas you really want to explore."
