I’ll be at VanUE, the Vancouver UX chapter, speaking about creative thinking hacks. Here’s the excerpt:

Creative Thinking Hacks
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 — 6:00 to 7:30pm
There will be networking from 5:30 to 6:00pm.
Venue: Vancouver Film school.
Cost: Free!

Description: This new, high risk talk is a volitle combination of never before seen excerpts from the best selling book “The Myths of Innovation”, combined with the essence of Scott’s popular “How to find and manage ideas” course at the University of Washington. It will simultaneously demystify creative thinking, provide tips and tricks for finding ideas, provoke wild opinions and comical rants, and explore how to become more powerful at the creative aspects of your work and life. Format: Short interactive lecture, with extended Q&A (So bring your list of “things i always wanted to know about creative thinking but were too afraid or drunk to ask”).

VanUE provided a great crowd last year, look forward to speaking there again. RSVP here.
