Looking for a place to learn through conversation with a multi-disciplinary group of involved, engaged people who value making a difference and taking action? This invitation provides complimentary access to a network of people who enjoy exploring ideas related to passion, commitment, knowledge, creativity, and innovation in the context of diverse professional responsibilities.

Please join us at our next NYC Knowledge Cafe on Tuesday, April 29th from 6pm to 8:30pm at Perkins Eastman (19th Street & Fifth Avenue), New York City. This event is hosted by Perkins Eastman. Special thanks for Jennifer Carrel and Robert Polkowski for their support of our 2008 bi-monthly cafes.

New York City is an exciting place for David Gurteen's vision of learning communities. The first and only USA-based cafe launched in July 2005 and since then knowledge management directors, psychologists, IT professionals, organizational consultants, physicians, and artists have been among those who have attended. Due to space limitations, reservations are required. TOPIC: What's so great about Openness and Transparency?

You see it everywhere. Election campaigns, governments, and organizations claim visions that are "open and transparent." David Gurteen notes that these are not interchangeable words but distinct concepts and behaviors.

At our April 29th cafe, we'll launch our conversation with the following questions: If we value being "open and transparent," are we really being authentic or are we posing for others? When we add our powerpoint to SlideShare or Google documents do we want to share knowledge or merely exhibit ourselves to an unknown community of onlookers? How does openness and transparency translate to the world of Web 2.0? What are the limits or tipping point of openness and transparency? How can we contribute to more open and transparent workplaces, both individually and collectively? How can we become more open, transparent knowledge workers and should we be?
