Have you heard about the Reinvention Summit: World’s First Virtual Conference on the Future of Storytelling?
It’s a totally bold and audacious attempt to break out of the old silos, explore the expanding role of narrative in the context of personal, business, and social reinvention. It takes place ONLINE, November 11/11 through 11/22. Imagine 30+ hours of content, social networking, and bonus materials – starting at just $11.11.

Who’s this for? We’re gathering a new tribe of storytellers: Change-makers, marketers, creatives, innovators, bloggers, filmmakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs who all see narrative as fundamental to what they do. We’re all in the midst of such dramatic change in the world, moving from old stories to new stories. As you know, the new story is still a work in progress for many of us, even visionaries amongst us. That’s why we all need to come out of isolation and connect with others about the new tools, vocabulary, and frameworks of storytelling – our most basic human technology for this adaptive age.
This is not your usual cast of characters. Our diverse lineup of world-class speakers include John Gerzema, Tiffany Shlain, John Elkington, Nancy Duarte, Julien Smith, Annette Simmons, Johnny B. Truant, Katya Andresen, and many others who are blazing new narrative paths.
