Gathering of People & Organizations “Going Teal” at the Lake Balaton

Dear friends of Enlivening Edge and fellow fans of soulful organizations!

You are the source of our success, of the fact that there are more people in the “reinventing” movement, who ask each other more frequently, “have you read this on Enlivening Edge”? Now it’s time to honor your support, by letting you be among the first to know of an event that is destined to be fun and act as an accelerator of the movement.
That event will be a major conference in Hungary, the Integral European Conference (May 4-8, 2016). Its umbrella theme is “Reinventing Europe: integral reflections in a rapidly changing world.” At the conference there will be a Teal Organizations trackcurated by Enlivening Edge. It will be a gathering of organizational reinventors from all over Europe and beyond.

If you want to have your views and experience to be heard, why not submit a proposal for a paper or a workshop. First, read the Call for Papers here. (That’s a new link effective December 31.) To find the “TealOrg” section of the Call, go to page 8-9. To apply, click here. I would love to see you as a presenter, next May, at the beautiful Lake Balaton, where the conference will take place.

If your submission will be one of the accepted ones, I can tell you, visiting Hungary (my home country) will not disappoint you. The organizers thought of even of a post-conference sightseeing tour that last year was very popular among the attendees.

Of course you can attend the conference and its TealOrg track without being a presenter, but if you have some innovative, Teal-ish ideas or experiences to share, this will be a perfect, international audience to share and make contacts with.

The deadline to send in your abstracts is Jan 30st, 2016. Later submissions may be reviewed but the likelihood of admission drops after the deadline, since the available slots will likely already be taken. The deadline for handing in the full paper, after your contribution has been accepted, is March 31st.
If you consider submitting something to the TealOrg track, I’d like to encourage you to find someone to write your paper with and/or co-facilitate your workshop. A special offer from our team at Enlivening Edge: we can help you change the dread of having to write something alone in a short a time, with the joy of co-articulating your intention for a contribution with others interested in the same topic.

We are hosting a special online community for folks drafting proposal submissions for the TealOrg track. Expect creative dialogues with other community members, which can enhance and help clarifying your ideas. To benefit from this offer, request admission to TealOrg IEC2016 community on Slack, by sending an email to george(at)enliveningedge(dot)org, complete with the (even temporary title) of your envisioned submission.
