As part of the forthcoming IdeaCamp Las Vegas event, !CSEX, (Sept. 27-28, 2010) the network is hosting a series of blog posts dealing with sexual issues to get the conversation started in anticipation of the September event.
In the next six weeks bloggers will share their thoughts on six different areas:

I put out a call for blog ideas Sunday night on Twitter and received an interesting idea from my dear friend Theresa Seeber (@theresaseeber)
Hmm, I think loving people who are difficult to love. Or the positives of the institution.
Two great ideas! I feel like I’ve written a lot about first idea but the second idea is something I don’t ever recall writing about.

I had a great video chat with Charles Lee about the upcoming !deation Conference (April 5-6, 2010 in Long Beach):
Registration is taking place now www.ideationconference.com
A special web registration rate of $249 expires tomorrow (Jan 15, 2010) – so sign up today.
And I love that as part of your registration cost, you can pick a group to donate $25 towards — so with 400 registrations, !deation will be donating $10,000 to some great non-profits.
Find out more at: www.ideationconference.com or on twitter at: @theideation
Thanks to Charles for taking the time to chat – and to Wetoku for the great service.
After hosting three great idea camps in 2009 (including #icdc & #icpnw) – Charles Lee @charlestlee is planning a new conference event geared specifically towards non-profits and those interested in humanitarian relief.
The initial !deation conference will be held April 5-6 in Long Beach, CA.
The !deation Conference is intentionally formatted to create a rich learning and sharing experience. Each element of the conference facilitates a different mode for engaging the content as well as fellow participants. The hope is that these various experiences will lead to inspiration, encouragement, new explorations, refinement, collaboration, and strategic implementation.
I chatted with Charles a week or so ago for the podcast and he shared some of his vision for !deation.
The conference will be a bit more structured than Idea Camp with key note addresses from folks like Scott Harrison, Eugene Cho, Wade Kawasaki and others.
There will also be smaller workshops to help folks connect with others in their given field.
Should be excellent!
The registration will be capped at 400 attendees – and the early bird special only lasts till Friday – Jan. 15th – so register now!
It’ll be a couple weeks till we publish the full Charles Lee interview on the podcast – but you can hear a snippet of it (dealing with !deation) here:

Well this will likely be my final set of notes from The Idea Camp DC :-(. Even missing a couple sessions the weekend un-conference was pure greatness in my mind. Lots of things to chew on and “take home.”
So without further ado – here are my notes from the closing session ::

I wrote about The Idea Camp a while back. I had hoped to have a local viewing party, but it never quite panned out. Instead I’m watching online physically by myself, but what seems like I’m right there with everyone thanks to technology.
Thanks to free online streaming and Twitter I’ve been watching and listening to a majority of the conversations taking place this weekend in DC. So far its been great.
I’ve been twittering my notes, so for those who haven’t been able to keep up, and for archival purpose, here are some of the notes I’ve taken through the pre-session and the first breakout session…
Hopefully these notes will spark creative ideas and innovation within your own groups.
