[E100 Alert] Getting Ready for Barcelona
- November 13-17, 2004
Dear E100: In previous e-mails, we've told you
about our plans for the 4th International Roundtable scheduled for
Barcelona for November 13-17th. In particular, there are plans for a
major OPEN session that is sponsored in
partnership with Barcelona Activa. The events will be preceded with
business meetings of The ENTOVATION Group/Alliance (EG/A) and all in attendance are also invited to join in shaping the Knowledge Cities
Observatory.
E100 Angel Arbonies, MIK, S.Coop, has been working diligently to finalize the agenda, logistics and concept design of the new
observatory - the details for all of which will be sent later this week. You will not be disappointed; and you might want to reserve
these dates NOW, while they are on your mind!
But you might also want to take a look at why we selected Barcelona in
the first place!
Many of you are already aware of Forum 2004. You can get an
idea of the scope of events from visiting the website - http://www.barcelona2004.org/eng/; but even then, it is not easy to
comprehend the importance of these events and the location site. For
instance, there are a series of critical dialogues underway that are
garnering the interest of worldwide leadership on topics such as:
Cities Living Together; Cultural Diversity and the Media; Freedom,
Security and Peace; Globalization and Development; New agents, New
Dynamics; Science, Knowledge and Sustainable Development; Unheard
Voices; Spirituality; The Role of Education in Culture and
Development; and more...much more.
You might want to pay particular attention to one page of the Forum
2004 website:
http://www.barcelona2004.org/eng/eventos/dialogos/
This outlines the plans and agenda for a forthcoming Mayors meeting in
Barcelona now scheduled for early May. See below the list of those
planning to participate as speakers (and I may have missed a few). It
is likely that your own local leadership will be in attendance. And
this is only ONE event!
The point is we have the opportunity now to meet thereafter - together
- in November as part of Forum 2004 and offer our insights and
aspirations from the perspective of the knowledge enterprises and
zones emerging all over the world. The E100 represents a global
network of knowledge and innovation professionals...and our potential
'Voice' of competence. What better group from which to learn; and what
better place than Barcelona in November?!
Let me know if you are making plans (or even trying) to attend!
Always in your Network,
P.S. There are some resources provided at the bottom of this e-mail
that may also be worthy of your attention. And if you are curious
about what might be a 'knowledge city', take a look http://www.bcn.es/accentcultura/angl/webang.doc.
