Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything in Italy, India and Indonesia

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, will deliver the keynote presentation Creativity without Drama, which will challenge the idea that creative people must suffer for their artistry in order to be taken seriously, and will emphasize the importance of teaching and practicing creativity without embracing distracting dramas along the way. The presentation will kick off the 2009 Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit, with additional keynote presentations from Peter Shankman, Jane McGonigal, and Randall Kempner, as well as workshops, panels, and discussions on innovation, creativity, collaboration, shared learning, technology and open source thinking. 

Ms. Gilbert will be conducting a book signing following the presentation.
