ProjectFresh and Mindshare Los Angeles, two related event series curated by Douglas Campbell, promise opportunities for participants to share ideas, foster dialogue, build community, problem solve and take action on a wide range of issues. At the same time, these events promise attendees a fun, socially engaging night out with other people who like to mix intelligent conversation with partying.
This month, ProjectFresh explores the implications and strategies of a concept called Wisdom 2.0, which revolves around the ways in which people can live with deeper meaning in a technology-rich world. A week later, Mindshare LA celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with an evening of live music, hors d’oeuvres, games and prizes, as well as a soon to be announced program. Finally, towards the end of the month, ProjectFresh screens a documentary called Waiting for Superman. Details regarding all three events follow.
ProjectFresh Presents: Wisdom in the Information Age
The evening encourages audience participation throughout and will explore such questions as:
- What does ‘Wisdom’ mean to us – and why is it important to cultivate?
- What are some of the challenges that we face in the always-on, connected World?
- Are there techniques that we can employ to negotiate ‘information overload’ and become more present?
- How can we create lasting benefit to our well-being, effectiveness and our relationships with ourselves and others?
Action: The discussion is designed to leave attendees with avenues for action. In addition, with guidance from the community, ProjectFresh aims to begin organizing a larger, follow up event, which will assemble a more detailed program to explore the challenges – and solutions – in greater depth.

Mindshare Los Angeles – St. Paddy’s Day Program
Our family St. Patrick’s Day tradition consists of preparing a corned beef and cabbage meal and enjoying it at home. When I learned that Mindshare LA was planning its own celebration, however, I knew I had to check it out. While the full program has not been announced yet, the evening promises a fun and engaging way to celebrate the holiday. Perhaps I’ll see you there.
