Announcing: The 2008 LPPD Exchange
Plans for the Lean PD conference have come a long way in the last few weeks! But I could use some help from you.
As of today, we have our name:
2008 Lean Product and Process Development Exchange
Now we just need a location.
I have a special request for my readers: please let me know either in email or by posting a comment, what you think about locations. What do you think about:
Orlando
Chicago
Dallas
Minneapolis
Denver
Las Vegas
Salt Lake City
Any other ideas? Where would you most like to go in February?
This conference will pull together the thought leaders and trailblazers in Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD) for knowledge-sharing, networking, education and discussion. The Lean Enterprise Institute is our first co-sponsor, and Durward Sobek, Jamie Flinchbaugh, Michael Kennedy and I are on the early list of thought leaders. We've also started to assemble an exciting list of trailblazers who have increased ROI for NPD, slashed time to market, and delivered more customer value with LPPD. It will be the best event to date focused on using lean ideas in the product development space.

Here are the early email responses:
--Minneapolis - cold but perhaps inexpensive.
--Vegas
--Denver (where the skiiers can put the winter weather to good use!)
More emailed responses and selection update:
Dallas (a hub and warmer in February but not distracting)
Los Angeles
San Diego
We've narrowed down to this set:
Chicago
Dallas
Minneapolis / St paul
Phoenix
Orlando
Denver
Salt Lake City
Our first set of filters will be peak seasons (we want to avoid them) and cost of flights. We could still use your comments, so feel free to tell us what you think on this thread.
Well, I would have to vote for Mpls since I have family there but Salt Lake City is quite inviting (Alta, Alta, Alta - for you skiing fans, also I think you can (safely) go down the luge run). Dallas would be OK. LA is too spread out (I would want to be downtown). We should avoid a completely bland conference hotel in the middle of suburbia.
