Activists and experts from around the world converged in Washington, D.C. on May 23-24 to explore the most pressing dilemmas and exciting opportunities around free expression in the digital age.
In April, we hosted a very special guest in Nashville. The talented and witty Patrick van der Pijl, producer of the best-selling business book, Business Model Generation.
For 10 days, Patrick worked with our team to accelerate the production of a new online course set to launch June 1st.
This course is perfect for the busy facilitator, consultant or manager who works with teams to examine, understand and innovate new business models.

In typical Paramore style, the events are fun, entertaining, informative, and savvy.
Today, Alphachimp's own Perrin Ireland, is the "artist in residence" at the The Nature Research Center, an 80,000-square-foot wing of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
The public is invited to a 24-hour grand opening celebration from 5 p.m. on Friday, April 20 through 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, 2012. This is the largest street party for Raleigh, North Carolina, expected to draw 50,000 nature-loving participants.
The NRC currently under construction, will bring research scientists and their work into the public eye, help demystify an often intimidating field of study, better prepare science educators and students, and inspire a new generation of young scientists.
The cornerstone of the NRC will be the SECU Daily Planet, an immersive, three-story multimedia space that will host live programming on current science issues and feature nature films on a giant screen. Other highlights include a 10,000-gallon aquarium with lionfish, bonnethead sharks and Atlantic stingrays, and Investigate Labs, where visitors can perform scientific experiments designed and led by Museum researchers and educators.

TO CONQUER IGNORANCE, INEPTITUDE, INEQUITY AND INJUSTICE!
from Peter Durand, Creative Director of Alphachimp Studio Inc.

TEDMED can be described as the Baby Doc spinoff of the TED Mothership.
Or, it can be summed up as a glimpse into why the human race is doomed and how we screwed everything up through ignorance, gluttony, greed, avarice and the three other deadly sins, and that only a radical change in personal and communal decisions will save us.
(It seems like between the body's natural frailty, Pandora's Box, evolutionary biology, a $15,000,000,000 deficit and malpractice lawyers... we have our collective work cut out for us!)
Over 1,200 delegates gathered at TEDMED 2012 from all around the globe and virtually every profession from the Director of the NIH to the world’s foremost big wave surfer. For almost 90 presentations and performances, comprising 11 sessions, over 3 days we created digital scribing assets available on Flickr, YouTube, the TEDMED blog, and in PDF summaries.
Alphachimp loves the musical stylins of Jill Sobule. Whether musing about the death penalty, anorexia, or what it would be like if Edgar Allen Poe had taken Prozac, she delights and challenges in her sly, funny way.
Check out our electronic scribing of her presentations at #TEDMED so far, in addition to the other incredible speakers we've gotten to see. If you missed her, don't worry- she's peppered all over the schedule, so we'll be hearing lots more about how "Disease Don't Care!"
TEDx Nashville was back at TPAC for its third annual event.
This year's theme was Impact: Making a Difference. The amazing list of confirmed speakers will be sharing on everything from changing your brain without surgery to communicating with extraterrestrials, child literacy, and unlocking your creativity with paint. Southern Word, Nashville's crew of compelling high school spoken word poets, will be making an appearance, no doubt to bring the audience to their feet once more.
Alphachimp Studio's co-founder and creative director, Peter Durand, was working stage left to capture visual summaries of each exciting speaker. The event was once again emceed by Ross Scott, who did a fine job keeping pace and "keeping it real".
There were many special moments during the day, but a special one was created (literally and in real-time) during a first-tem collaboration by musician K.S. Rhoads and painter Rachel Kice.
