DESCRIPTION:The 2006 National Conference on Dialogue & Deliberation will take place in 
 San Francisco, CA August 4-6, with pre-conference trainings on August 3rd. 
 If you are dedicated to solving group and societal problems through honest 
 talk, quality thinking and collaborative action, we invite you to join us 
 at this innovative gathering.  The conference will be held at the 
 Renaissance Parc 55, a beautiful hotel in the heart of downtown San 
 Francisco.\n\nMembers of the rapidly-growing dialogue and deliberation 
 community regularly engage and mobilize millions of people across the globe 
 around today's critical issues and NCDD conferences build community in and 
 provide direction for this growing field of practice-a field that has the 
 potential to solve many of society's most pressing problems.  \n\nOur 
 conference provides opportunities for networking, experiencing different 
 methods, hearing from leaders, learning about new research, and exploring 
 key issues through high-quality workshops and session which, this year, 
 will focus on a variety of important topics such as Jewish-Palestinian 
 dialogue and the use of dialogue and deliberation in the U.S. Department of 
 Defense; along with innovations such as OrangeBand, Conversation Cafe, and 
 Dialogue Mapping.\n\nSpeakers in our Reflective Panel will include Juanita 
 Brown, The World Cafe; John Gastil, University of Washington; Chris Gates, 
 Executive Director of PACE; William Isaacs, author of "Dialogue and the Art 
 of Thinking Together,"; and Leanne Nurse, U.S. Environmental Protection 
 Agency.\n\nRegistration is only $450, so be sure to register soon.  The 
 2006 conference is funded, in part, by the William & Flora Hewlett 
 Foundation, the Whitman Institute, and by leading dialogue and deliberation 
 organizations including the Forum Foundation, the Public Conversations 
 Project, and the Study Circles Resource Center. Visit NCDD's website at

 Francisco!  \n \n\n
