Welcome to Creative Places + Spaces: The Collaborative City

The 2009 conference was the latest milestone in the Creative Places and Spaces conference series, exploring the relationship between people, place and creativity. Between Sunday October 25th and Friday October 30th,Creative Places and Spaces  featured 7 keynotes, 26 speakers, 11 Emcees + Moderators, 8 ‘On Location’ Videos, 6 Study Tours, 4 Panel Discussions, 4 Breakout Sessions and upwards of 300 artists in 5 venues across the city of Toronto. In addition to the two day conference, we featured a Collaboration Workhsop, The Collaborative Dinner and 7 study tours throught the city. More than 550 delegates were able to participate in this experience and both they, and we, will continue the conversations and test-drive key learnings of the conference long after the dust has settled on last year’s event.

Creative Places + Spaces: The Collaborative City gave individuals and organizations from distinct and diverse sectors the opportunity to engage in a dialogue that helps advance our cities and countries to new levels of collaboration, creativity and innovation. With this in mind, we want to keep the conversation and collaboration at the forefront of our work. Stay tuned as we roll out a series conference knowledge videos over the next few months. It is our hope that they will assist individuals and organizations alike in continuing to Think. Create. Collaborate.
