The Feast Conference in New York City – October 1, 2009

Posted by renjie On July - 25 - 2009

Anyone planning to attend The Feast Conference hosted by All Day Buffet in New York City on Thursday, October 1, 2009?

I was told by four different people this past week that I should look into attending this conference, and after going through their website, I am considering putting in my application to attend.

From their website:

“The Feast” is a cross-disciplinary series of programs addressing social innovation and new ways to make the world a better place. Our secret sauce lies in a healthy combination of passion, creativity, and entrepreneurship to shift the way things are done – thereby changing individuals, industries, and ultimately the world.

An open exchange of ideas across industries and society is necessary to produce lasting, sustainable, meaningful change. “The Feast” brings together the world’s leading creative entrepreneurs, revolutionaries, radicals, doers and thinkers to inspire more action, share best practices, and create valuable connections that will change the world.

The organizers are also doing something that I have never seen done before: providing the option for delegates to micro-sponsor‘ the conference, asking those who can afford to pay higher registration prices to do so ($250 individual rate, $1000 corporate rate), which will enable conference organizers to extend the $99 invitations to “awe-inspiring vanguards whose brains get them where their wallets can’t.”

Rolling admission for the conference ends September 1, 2009, which is also when they close the $99 registration tickets.
You can apply to attend the conference here.

The Feast Kitchen and The Feast Workshop will also be taking place in New York City the next day on Friday, October 2, 2009.
