What is the Fall Forum?
TCG's 2007 Fall Forum, Cultivating Innovation: From the Board Room to the Box Office, will take place in New York City from Friday, November 9, to Sunday, November 11. The Forum will bring together approximately 150 participants, including teams of artistic and management leaders and trustees from TCG member theatres, to provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion on governance issues. TCG's Forums give theatre leaders the chance to hear some of the most provocative thinkers in the field and to engage with their peers in an intimate and informal setting.
Held annually, TCG Fall Forums are designed to enhance board effectiveness and performance. Past years have focused on management structure and financial issues, as well as the artistic process. This year we plan to focus on how managers and boards think about innovation. Do arts organizations set aside resources for artistic leaders and managers to innovate? How can we stimulate creative thinking in order to develop and implement new strategies to move our organizations forward?
Fall Forum attendance is open to staff and trustees of TCG member theatres only. Each member theatre may bring up to 5 participants.

Keynote Speaker:
The 2007 Fall Forum keynote speaker will be Peter Gelb, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera, who will lay the groundwork for our exploration of all facets of innovation. He has led by example, and we hope he will share the organizational context and culture at The Metropolitan Opera that has allowed for him to embark on their recent innovations.
