My old friend Frans Johansson, the author of The Medici Effect, is working with the city of San Jose to bring his innovation workshop to the Bay Area next week.
The Medici Effect refers to the amazing innovations of the Italian Renaissance, sparked by the mingling of disparate cultures and experiences.
I went to Frans’ last Medici event, the Medici Summit in 2008, and it was easily the best conference I’ve ever attended (and I’ve attended a lot). Fun activities, thought-provoking speakers, and brilliant folks from around the world.
To cap it all off, I’ve got a promo code that lets you get in for the $99 student rate instead of the $195 general admissions price.
If innovation and creativity matter to you and your work, you’d be crazy not to go. If you miss it, the next Medici Experience won’t be until 2010, and you’ll have to fly to Trinidad for that one!

P.S. Frans is one of the most energetic speakers you’ll ever get a chance to see. If you don’t believe me, check out this video:
