Our three days at the Fortune Magazine Brainstorm:Tech conference were tremendous. We had great conversations with thoughtful leaders ranging from executives at leading internet companies — such as Google, MySpace, and Yahoo — to inspiring social entrepreneurs running innovative non-profits including Kiva.org and Donorschoose.org. You’ve got to love a conference that programs the CEO of Google and the legendary songwriter Neil Young practically back-to-back!

We were delighted to have such a strong response to our dance performance and to have developed a lot of interest in the Audience Engagement Platform for the Performing Arts that we are developing, on which we gave a presentation to the full assembly. We’ve made an online animated version of parts of the presentation which you can see here: www.misnomer.org/aep.

Developing solutions to empower artists and audiences online requires input from a range of voices and perspectives; we are delighted to receive so much feedback from within the performing arts world on a regular basis, and this last week, it was encouraging to see strong interest from the business and technology sectors in helping to bring new technological offerings to the arts.

A big thanks goes out to the entire team at Fortune Magazine – and especially David Kirkpatrick, Jessi Hempel, Simone Ross, and Delwyn Gray – for their bold creativity by inviting a dance performance into the midst of the conference!
