UPDATE 28 August 2015: This event has been cancelled.

Please join me for a new kind of event.  One, where we won’t be glued to chairs in a ballroom or walking exhibits in a convention center.  We’ll be part of an open innovation campus in Sacramento, CA and truly enjoying the culture, music and arts of the city.

The event is INNOVATE @ TBD FEST and it will be held September 17-22, 2015 in Sacramento, California.

Think of it as a business playground to instigate new ideas, inspire new thinking, solve problems, develop creative leadership capacities, new ventures and quantifiable outcomes by interconnecting activists, business innovators and disruptors from around the world.  Plus, we’ll also get access to TBD Music, Arts and Culture FEST. It will be a blast.

I recently partnered with RELEVENTS as a curator-in-residence. Like Corporate Rebels United, this is my “night job” 😉

We have curated, along with some of the most brilliant minds, a Festival for YOU. It’s designed to be a social learning environment that is content-inspired, people–driven, results-oriented and perhaps, most importantly, a capabilities and new business accelerator.

Corporate Rebels United is a movement and a culture grounded in empowering a tribe of enthusiastic protagonists hungry for positive change. Not an anarchist tribe, but a tribe of people who care for the companies they work for and want to activate change.

We celebrate the Corporate Rebels who went the extra-mile: in helping our movement, in completing a hack, in pulling together a value practice, or doing something really awesome in their organization. Sacramento will bring to life the in-person recognition for a Corporate Rebel exposing the sort of behaviors needed to encourage and advance the movement.

Since 2012, Corporate Rebels United organizes a “Rebel Jam”, a 24h online event via WebEx. The last one was held on June 26^th. The recordings of all the sessions are now available here (*). Rebel Jam 2015 was a co-production by Corporate Rebels United, Rebels at Work, and Change Agents Worldwide.

And now, for the first time ever, REBELJAM GOES LIVE. On Friday September 18^th, we have created a dedicated Pavilion, bringing together our sharpest minds.

This is our call for partipation!

Are you ready to do what hasn’t been done before? Do you have the guts to go on stage, and share your corporate change story with the rest of the world?

If, so, please apply as a speaker via this link: http://innovate.relevents.com/experiences/rebel-jam-live

Rebels selected to speak will gain a complimentary entry to Innovate @ TBD FEST. 

Why should you trust RELEVENTS to produce this event?

RELEVENTS’ founders are rebels with a common cause. They left jobs in established and successful conference, media, and consulting firms and started RELEVENTS because, collectively they believe that there is a better way to produce, engage, and truly activate outcomes from industry events. They blur the lines and solve problems by changing the people in the room. They curate from a collective lens – connecting leaders, generations, brands and markets by keeping them relevant for the future. They create authentic interaction around real issues and prepare leaders for the competition that’s coming.

Their success is measured by what YOU GET OUT not what they put in.

You won’t read about the number of sessions or speakers or brand names. We built our experience on principle and purpose. We invited the world’s foremost change makers to facilitate an open innovation lab in the heart of Sacramento. The focus is on YOU. Not them.

Our At-A-Glance Program is now available to see. We’d love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!
