"Good Business: Leadership, Flow, and the Making of Meaning", New York: Viking, 2003. Rex Jung | Creative Santa Fe. Report from MontrealBy Cyndi Conn Last week Laura Carpenter and I attended the first C2-MTL conference in Montreal, Quebec. The conference organizers created a distinctive event to explore the relationship between commerce and creativity through non-traditional experiences including talks by leaders across the globe, special exhibitions, presentations, and collaborative events. A temporary “Innovation Village” was constructed in a district of Montreal currently undergoing significant renovation and gentrification.
The Innovation Village consisted of a large temporary structure housing chic bars, seating areas for discussion and workshops, interactive installations, and themed lounge areas curated by local Montreal artists and designers. The temporary space opened to a central outdoor courtyard populated with food trucks, pop-up cafes, lounge tables and chairs, and ongoing art projects. The atmosphere of C2-MTL was small part business conference and large part late-night dance club. The Mind Research Network and Charting Creativity. TEDxABQ - Rex Jung - Creativity and the Brain.
