I mean, for example, I get ideas from all sorts of places like Business Week podcasts, reading Fortune magazine, and looking at websites like Stanford's Design group. So I think bringing a diverse group of people together would generate even more electricity. I worry if it is by invitation some of us who might really want to attend might not be invited ;) so that would be my only reservation about that!

Whether or not NECC will be the right place to hold this or not, I am not sure, but needless to say, this is something that needs to happen. Earlier in the year, Christian had advocated that the participants should not be solely the blogerati of the edublogosphere, but rather people from the ancillary field that affect education and social change as a whole. Who do you think should attend? Or should it not be an invitation only event like TED? Carolyn,
