I attended the Smithsonian Storytelling Weekend in 2005. I learned a lot, met some of the giant of organizational storytelling and decided I wanted to return after I finished my dissertation to perhaps present my research.
I have submitted a proposal (on storytelling in the job search) to the Golden Fleece Day portion of the weekend and will update my vast audience of readers if it gets accepted.
Steve Dennning says that Smithsonian 2007 will about organizational conversations and will take place on May 4, 2007, in Washington, DC. Speakers will include Larry Prusak, Nancy Dixon, Peter and Mary Gergen, Madelyn Blair, and Denning. The aim is to turn the event itself into a conversation.
