About CoLABoration 2010

Our  goal is to launch a collaborative community that will become an intentional neural network for global problem solving.  Humanity could find innovative ways to handle our world crises (not to mention our day-to-day problems)  if we all could put our heads together and our egos out of the way.

 

At CoLABoration 2010, we are experimenting with Doug Engelbart's idea of "co-evolution" -- by bringing together technology leaders with experts in human facilitation and representatives of many disciplines -- all focused on improving collaborative techniques.  Can you help us fire up the global brain?

 

We are pleased to invite you to participate in collaboration as no one has experienced it before.   We're asking you to help put the "lab" in collaboration by co-creating and participating in experimental techniques for this interactive hands-on event. 

 

Collaboration across Borders:
Help put the "LAB" in collaboration by  participating in experimental techniques to dramatically improve all of our capability for working productively together. Amid the stimulating gallery environment at the Tech Museum of innovation, we'll convene people pioneering leading edge practices in collaboration -- with people who can use those practices to improve as individuals, organizations, and global citizens.

Improvement.... Times Ten:
What would it mean for your organization to improve by a factor of ten? Times one hundred?  Inspired by the philosophy of Douglas Engelbart, we are co-evolving new tools and new approaches to human interaction enabling us to leapfrog over old constraints and models.

A New Bag of Tools and Processes:
While addressing real issues about collaboration, we also will be experimenting with face to face and technological processes that enable people to quickly generate, aggregate and synthesize ideas - live and online.  This is the place to learn new techniques to remix and improve your collaboration - in whatever field you work in.

 

 We are inviting everyone to create something new for this event: 

If you have a technology tool, what new collaborative element could you spin off as an open source experiment?  If you have a meeting/design/interaction approach, how could you adapt that into an experiment we can try out at the event?
