Planner Reads

Planning-ness 2009.

What started off as a murmur on Twitter after the 4As planning conference was cancelled, has become a reality thanks largely to the efforts of Mark Lewis! Planning-ness 2009 is on and scheduled for October 16 and 17 in San Francisco.

Mark’s done a brilliant job of lining up a really diverse group of speakers on a wide range of topics:

We asked respected people from fields such as product design, film making, game design and politics to help teach some of us what they know. And to help this feel even less like one advertising person lecturing to another, we’ve organized the sessions into workshops, not speeches.  Each session (link to list of speakers/sessions) will consist of:

-     30-45 minutes of teaching

-     45 minutes to 1 hour of you putting that into practice

-     20-30 minutes of evaluation and discussion

This is a list of sessions currently planned.  More information, and a full guide will be published shortly.
