The Treehouse Group

… but we’re not letting the warm weather and siren song of Canada’s many lovely outdoor patios keep us from our work! (Well, not too much, anyway.)

Our resident freelance writer, Joe Wilson, has another great article for you to check out in the July 2009 Issue of Open Source Business Resource (OSBR), a free monthly publication of the Talent First Network.

The Group as a whole is still busy working away on ideas for upcoming events (the Fall ideaXchange in particular), as well as additions to the website (details to come), and we are always seeking out new opportunities for collaboration. In that spirit, keep your ideas coming via email, comments on the blog, and on Twitter. We appreciate hearing from you.

Finally, we’re very flattered to have been listed among the Trailblazers on the VOLANS website, along with other groups from all over the world. We appear to be in very good company!

We’re currently bandying around ideas for our Fall ideaXchange (music? Intellectual Property law? Who can choose from so many options?!) and are soliciting input from any and all interested parties.

We want to avoid the boring PowerPoint/lectern talks that are frequently found at conferences, and would much rather employ innovative variations on traditional modes of presentation. Our main focus is in finding unexpected links between different fields of study and/or work.

Help us organize an event that will engage as wide a cross-section of Toronto as possible: if you have any feelings about what our theme should be, or ideas for brain-cleansers or fun activities, let us know by leaving a comment below, or by writing to us at ideaxchange@treehousegroup.org.

Thanks!
