Last week I attended and presented at the annual Creativity Jamboree, which is held in Greenwich University. The event is organized by Dr. Kanes Rajah, director of the Centre for Entrepreneurship, and has been in existence for 9 years. Just imagine 3 days in beautiful historic Greenwich, sunny trips on the Thames, beautiful walks - the perfect place for any conference.
The reason I go to events like this is, apart from presenting, to enjoy the work of other practitioners from all parts of the world. I came back to Ireland feeling re-energized and full of ideas from three days of being with creative, positive and enthusiastic people. The atmosphere at the conference is very well established by Kanes, who is an exceptionally warm and hospitable host.
These conferences are open to all, regardless of discipline or background. Creativity is a universal theme, and everyone takes something away which is highly practical and relevant to their life or business. I will be posting information soon about and Irish Creativity Conference taking place here next Spring, but in the meantime you might like to check out two which are coming up this Autumn:
The 15th Annual Creativity Conference in Africa which will be taking place in Limpopo from October 6th - 9th, and the EACI Conference, which will be held in Brussels from October 28th - 30th.
So no matter what your current challenges are, you will find inspiration, synergy, and even practical solutions to your challenges by attending creativity conferences like these!
