[E100 Barcelona Alert #8] - Update on
Barcelona - Roundtable, Forum 2004 and MORE!
Dear E100:
En route to Barcelona...
Now, we are getting down to the wire
and plans need to be made. Further, we need to know if you plan to be
with you so we can provide optimal leverage for your visit!
| If
you ARE planning to join us - and I hope you ARE, you MUST register at
www.KCObservatory.net
so that we can plan for your inclusion! |
Have you been following all the
events? If not, NOW is the time to take a peak at an extraordinary
series of events.
Barcelona Forum 2004
You know that we are focused upon the
Knowledge City - but Knowledge Cities are comprised of enterprises;
and enterprises - public and public - are comprised of people, namely
YOU! And we have provided reference to the Knowledge Corridor. But
take a look at the way the city has used the concept (and initiative)
of Forum 2004 to create the space and conditions for 6 months of
conversations from people all over the world.
For instance, there were a series of
critical dialogues that are garnering the interest of worldwide
leadership on topics such as: Cities Living Together; Cultural
Diversity and the Media; Freedom, Security and Peace; Globalization
and Development; New agents, New Dynamics; Science, Knowledge and
Sustainable Development; Unheard Voices; Spirituality; The Role of
Education in Culture and Development; and more...much more. And all
was well documented with multi-media capability that would be the envy
of any city official.
Updated E100 Roundtable Program:
Now, if you are still not convinced
to join us, take a look at the revised program:

AOK Dialogue
Those who missed it need not feel totally lost. It was amazing -
really enlightening for both Bryan Davis and me. You were offered an
opportunity to participate with the E100 Alert.
The good news is that a summary of the event will soon be posted;
thus, I urge you to sign in (free) so you can benefit form future
deliberations. You will see comments from Leif Edvinsson, Ron Dvir,
Edna Pasher, Charles Savage and more...many more.
Please note that the article on this topic appears in the current
issue of Knowledge Management magazine - reportedly the original KM
magazine! Take a look.
If you do not have a subscription and would like to see the article,
just make a request. Meanwhile, do visit our new site -
www.inthekzone.com - our work-in-progress.
Numerous cities have already signed up delegations to participate.
Ideally, you can bring your own. If not, come as yourself. The
linkages you will discover will not be regretted.
Yours in the innovation mission...
