Update about 08 Summits - at February 2008

Below is an update about the Sydney and NYC Summits, along with links to recent media about the field.

The 2008 Summits, in Sydney and New York City, are coming along well.
We opened for registration just before the end of the year and already a steady flow of people are booking a place.

A strong advisory board for the Summits is now place, which includes executives from American Express, AIG, Metlife, several neuroscentists, educators and consultants.
The editor of strategy+business, Art Kleiner, is confirmed as the facilitator for both Summits.

Most of the scientists needed for the event are now confirmed, and we are thrilled to have some of the top neuroscientists in the world attending both events, including the two people who are central in the Social Neuroscience world.

We have just confirmed that Henry Stapp will speak in NYC. Henry is one of the most important quantum physicists alive today. He studied with Wolfgang Pauli and has some big insights about attention and the brain.

We have also decided to have a pre-conference event the day before each Summit, which will focus on providing basic neuroscience information to the lay person.

You can see who is speaking, and follow the links to more information abut each speaker, and register, at the Summit website.

Note that the early bird price now closes June 30 for both Summits.

We are now finalizing sessions by leadership educators and others, and a call for papers has been opened.

We are looking for presenters who be part of the dialogue in either Sydney or NYC and help establish this new field. The call for papers is available for download here.
Please follow the instructions carefully if you wish to be involved, there will be selection panel etc. The call for papers closes March 28.

A full program for both events will be available online late March or early April.

There's been some good media about this emerging field, with an article in the Guardian in London.

And another in a leadership journal in Australia, Boss Magazine.

Another announcement will come out with the full program and as other information comes to hand throughout the year.
