Ideas at Work

How many times have you been to a conference where it feels like the only thing that changed was the venue and location. The speakers are the same, the attendees are the same, the topics are the same! That’s been one of my frustrations with space conferences over the past few years, so I wanted to let you all know about an event coming up in Houston on December 2-3rd that’s going to be a little different. The American Astronautical Society is having their annual conference in Houston, just like they do every 2 years. However, this time, the only thing that will be the same is the fact that it’s in Houston. This years AAS Imagine09 Conference is focused on exploring remarkable ideas that are making a difference in the world and that could transform the space industry (if we choose to apply them). Some of the world’s most creative, productive and compelling individuals will actively engage attendees, providing knowledge and inspiration and encouraging breakthroughs in thought. The event has been designed to both spark imagination and to get people talking. If you have the chance to attend, you’ll hear Disney Imagineers talk about the use of narrative to create strategy and build teams and CEO’s talk about talks about designing the future. The entire list of speakers and topcis is included below. I hope you will be able to make it!
