Great Minds Think Alike

I've included posts about TED and the Big Think in the past and have come across five other thinking-person's conferences through Mashable's Top Seven Great Places To Watch Great Minds In Action:

Idea City held in Toronto 2010. Idea City is an annual Toronto event featuring exceptional people who present their ideas and experiences in a seminar style. It is the brainchild of ex-Montrealer Moses Znaimer.


BIL is an ad-hoc conference for people changing the world in big ways. It's a place for passionate people to come together to energize, brainstorm, and take action. BIL 2010 will be held in Long Beach, CA.

Gel ("Good Experience Live") is a conference and community exploring good experience in all its forms -- in business, art, society, technology, and life. Gel 2009 and Gel 2010 will be held in NYC.

The BIF (Business Innovation Factory) Summit will be held in Providence, Rhode Island in October 2009.







Lastly, PopTech 2009 will be held in Camden, Maine in October. POPTech is a network of remarkable people, extraordinary conferences, powerful ideas and innovative projects that are changing the world.
