Collaborative and Dialogic Practices in Therapy and Social Change: Honoring the Past and Creating the Future - April 22-24, 2010, Cancun, Mexico

Over 140 practitioners, scholars and students gathered to explore innovative practices in therapy and social change, both past and present. We opened with an honoring of those whose legacy has inspired us (Tom Andersen, Gianfranco Cecchin, Harry Goolishian, Insoo Kim Berg, Steve de Shazer, Michael White, and Paul Watzlawick) and explored the polyphony of new practices that have emerged from the creative seeds of these legacies.

This conference brought together our systemic, narrative and relational roots, showcased the growth and innovations that have evolved from those roots, and joined us together in creating a social constructionist future in therapy and social change. With 6 plenary/keynotes, 36 workshops and dialogue sessions and 19 poster presentations, everyone experienced a rich and lively program.

The conference was our first bi-lingual conference with sessions translated live into both English and Spanish by six translators.

The New OD - A Conference - March 18-21, 2010

A conference for scholars, practitioners, and change leaders to explore the shifts in the field of OD that have occurred and are occurring continuously.

NTL Institute hosted this conference and was joined by several organizations that grew out of NTL roots – i.e., the AU/NTL Master of Science in OD graduate program; Case Western Reserve’s School of Organization Behavior; The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science (JABS), and The Lewin Center. In addition, this group will be joined by The Taos Institute.

The Taos Institute was pleased to be a sponsor of the exciting event. More than 230 scholars and practitioners committed to exploring and shaping the future of OD gathered for 3 days. Given the reality in which we are living, rapid changes require that we create new ways of working together to assure the best possible outcomes for human systems, be they organizations, communities, or families, as we learn to live in a constantly changing reality.
