WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
AI Conference Convenes Movement
Co-chair of the 2009 World Appreciative Inquiry (AI) Conference Lindsey Godwin says she has never witnessed such a globally diverse group engaged in telling their stories, sharing their questions and collaborating about AI and strengths-based practices as she did at the Nov. 16-19 event in Nepal.

Several initiatives gained ground during the fourth annual global AI conference, which focused on creating a positive revolution for sustainable change.

The 300-plus delegates contributed to a dreaming and design discussion on the subject of a global educational institution grounded in the strength-based philosophy. An international planning team of almost 60 interested people, including AI thought leader David Cooperrider, was created to move the vision of the World AI Multiversity forward.

The event featured many keynotes and workshops, with people attending both in-person and virtually.
