Interesting Activities and Places Beckon - Annual Journey To Europe

One of the quiet small goals I set for myself a decade ago was to make it to Europe at least once a year.  So far so good, though I was beginning to think that 2008 would be the year that goal fell by the wayside.


Thanks to Bertrand Duperrin and blueKiwi, I will be joining Stowe Boyd in Paris to speak at blueKiwi's annual conference.


Over the past four years I have also had the privilege to be active at Canada's distinctive Banff Centre, a mountain campus that hosts venues, capabilities and residencies for performing artists, a new Media Institute and one of Canada's oldest and (perhaps) most progressive leadership and management development institutes.


In about a week I'll be flying to Calgary and then shuttling to the Banff Centre to go speak about "wirearchy" at an evening seminar and then spend time the next day discussing the possibility of a course (tentatively) titled "From Hierarchy to Wirearchy - leading and managing in a wired workplace".


I'm wondering if I should try to carve out a few days in and around London to catch up with old friends (I always assume that they like to see me, but that's a difficult assumption to test since it's rare that anyone is ever going to tell someone different).  Thoughts ?

Hey Jon, do come to London. But a bit less of the "old" please, I'm plucking out the grey hairs as I type :)

Do let me know if you are coming in to UK. Maybe we can meet up?

Seems like you're London friends, old or not, are of the same opinion as I am: we're always pleased to see you this side of the Atlantic.
Just met up with Stowe in Lisbon last week. Have fun in Paris mid-November.
