Our three days at the Fortune Magazine Brainstorm:Tech conference were tremendous. We had great conversations with leading corporate, non-profit, and educational thinkers. The range of perspectives, achievements, and knowledge was impressive. We had conversations with thoughtful leaders ranging from executive staff from 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 Goggle 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 ranges of voices and perspectives; we are delighted to hear so much feedback from within the performing arts world on a regular basis, and this last week, it was welcoming to see the 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!
