As a community organization that is working collaboratively, we want you to know about an exciting learning opportunity that we at Bissell Centre are helping to bring to Edmonton this Fall. We are working with the Tamarack Institute to sponsor the 2013 Communities Collaborating Institute: Accelerating Impact, which is being held October 7th – 11th, 2013.
Tamarack’s Communities Collaborating Institute is Canada’s signature, learning event for collective impact professionals. The 2013 CCI: Accelerating Impact is geared specifically for those wanting to strengthen their capacity to create large-scale, collective impact in communities – linked to provincial/state or national agendas. I have attended two CCIs myself and highly recommend you consider attending.
Join Adam Kahane, Tom Kelly, Stephen Huddart, Ratna Omidvar, Catherine Twinn, Liz Weaver, Mark Cabaj, and me for this unprecedented leadership event. Inspired by the insights and perspectives of celebrated thought-leaders, it is an opportunity to rejuvenate and strengthen your ability to engage and mobilize across sectors to advance a common community agenda for transformation. Learn more about the event’s evolving list of Thought-Leaders online here.
Registration officially opens today, Tuesday March 19th 2013. This event has been over-subscribed each of the past six years and we expect the same this year in Edmonton, Alberta.
- Date: October 7 – 11, 2013
- Location: Edmonton, Alberta
- Venue: Radisson Edmonton South Hotel

Change leaders need both ideas and techniques. The 2013 CCI: Accelerating Impact promises to be a dynamic peer learning opportunity with a special focus on transformative techniques for uniting diverse opinions into a common agenda for social change. These include: Scenario Planning, Change Labs, Working Effectively with Complexity, Developmental Evaluation, Collaborative Governance Community Conversations and more.
Learn how you and your organization can benefit from this amazing learning opportunity. Special reduced rates are available for two or more participants from a community, organization or network who agree to attend together.
I hope to see you at the 2013 CCI this Fall in Edmonton.
