COINS 2010 Coolhunting Academy: Skills Training to Strengthen Creativity and Collaboration
The COINs 2010 Coolhunting Academy document (above) offers background information for the upcoming Coolhunting Academy, a hands-on skills training workshop for entrepreneurs, organization, government, foundation, and economic development professionals.
The Academy offers an ideal opportunity to learn and apply new skills to "coolhunting" - the practice of seeking the most creative ideas and people - for the purpose of "coolfarming" - the practice of collaborating to help them succeed.
You will learn technical skills training and connect to new conversations with other like-minded entrepreneurs focused on advancing creativity as a driving force in regional economic development. You will discover new friends and colleagues interested too, in generating transformative projects and initiatives for enterprise development.
The October 2010 Coohunting Academy is presented prior to the COINs2010 Conference, October 7, 8, & 9, 2010. Attendance at this workshop is free for conference attendees; registration is $120 for workshop participation only. A three-month trial version of Condor is included.
