IGC Book Club

We will be discussing Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky of Behance.
Many of us believe that great ideas inevitably lead to success. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whether it is the perfect solution for an everyday problem or a bold new concept for a creative masterpiece, you must transform vision into reality for an idea to have value.
This book chronicles the methods of exceptionally productive creative leaders and teams – companies like Google, IDEO, and Disney, and individuals like author Chris Anderson and Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh – that make their ideas happen, time and time again.

How does it work?
· Check in your clothes and accessories you no longer wear (up to 10) at the check in desk, between 6 pm and 7 pm.

· Once you have selected your items, please proceed to the check out and make your token purchase.
Reminder: If you won’t lend it to a friend, don’t bring it to the swap.

- Silfath Pinto, Image Consultant and Style Expert, founder of Sense Your Style
About the Token System
To ensure everyone has a fabulous time, a colored coded token system will be used on the night. The token system will allow you to swap fashion items for near or equal value to what you have brought to the Fashion Swap event. The tokens issued on the night include:
Cheap = Yellow Token
Mid-price = Green Token
Expensive = Red Token (more than $200)
1 red token = 2 green
1 green token = 2 yellow

We will meet every 2 months and discuss consumer goods, the marketplace, distributors, reps, trade shows, e-commerce(a topic that we could spend a lot of meetings on) and anything else product related!
Please RSVP to Jill Stern at jillable@mac.com and bring to our meeting 2 great resources to share with the group.
