Will you join the conversation?

Scott Massey, President of Meridian Institute, delivered a great talk at Smaller Indiana's "Bigger Ideas" conference back in June.

Today we are pleased to announce a long-term partnership between Smaller Indiana and the Meridian Institute in which we will work together toward our common goal of helping Indiana people, regions and communities meet the challenges and opportunities of the future. We are already working on a big project, "Imagine Indiana," an event scheduled for the Fall of 2010.

Imagine Indiana
Imagine Indiana will be a statewide summit to explore the ways in which the Arts inspire innovation. The program will highlight the innovative industries, sectors, institutions, and capacities of the state of Indiana across the fields of art, science, philanthropy, education, entrepreneurship, manufacturing, health and life science, technology, faith, civic engagement, social services, and others.

This event is being planned in co-operation with Presidents of the following organizations: Indianapolis Symphony, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eli Lilly and Company, Indiana University, Purdue University, Ball State University, Notre Dame, WFYI, Indianapolis Downtown, Inc., CICP, and the Church Federation of Greater Indianapolis. The Indiana Arts Commission, Indy Partnership, Sports Corp, Mayor's office and Governor's office and Smaller Indiana are also involved.

Imagine Indiana is part of a national program, Imagination Conversations, inspired by the Lincoln Center in New York. More about Imagination Conversations
