Welcome back to friends and to new attendees. You’re invited to take part in the Spring 2009 Innovation and Ideation Forum on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at Normandy Farms in Blue Bell, PA.



For those new to our group, the IIF is intended to be a Mastermind group, where like-minded, accomplished professionals come together on a regular basis to share ideas and learning, create new business connections and provide a forum, fuel and tools to take each other’s game to a new place. It’s an alliance group that’s part high-level networking, part professional development and part social club.



Many of the rules under which we operated, even last year, no longer work. At the same time, we have found that there are new techniques we can employ that allow us all to do with less and use the latest tools in social media, targeting, customer engagement, metrics and BI.



We’re inviting a select group of leaders who share a positive view of how the world can be even as we figure out the new rules for all of us. More and more, the people we talk with want to work with people who are smart, willing to share and help; people who you’d consider friends. That’s why we invite you to extend this offer to two or three friends or colleagues with the drive, vision and collaborative spirit to add value to a group such as this. The IIF is also based on the premise of One Degree of Separation. Meaning, that you’re likely to be connected to everyone else in the room through a relationship you already have.
