For your next important meeting… Imagine… instead of walking into a plain, tan rather non-inspirational conference room with wood-laminate tables and flourescent lighting… you enter one of several themed creativity rooms.

Perhaps today you booked the Inventor’s Lab. The laboratory for ideas, where anything is possible surrounded by the tools and spirit of great inventors.

Or the Think Tank? It’s easy to come up with twenty-thousand ideas in this Jules Verne-style drawing room where you work – safe and dry – from the ocean floor… 20,000 Leagues Under DC.

Or perhaps The Great Hall – where the environment is created virtually! Enveloping you and your team with the sights, sounds, and smells of anywhere we want to be. You could brainstorm with croissants under the Eiffel Tower in the morning, head to the Greek Isles for lunch, and conclude the day with a golden sunset among the olive groves and vineyards of Tuscany.

To get to these themed spaces, you don’t enter an office building, but instead – enter a giant sandbox, the Idea Sandbox!

The Idea Sandbox combines the right people, the right process and the right place – for the perfect (brain) storm.

In the Idea Sandbox, it is possible to suspend reality just long enough to come up with those wicked good ideas you need for next year’s product, marketing plan or company strategy.

The Idea Sandbox is slated to open in 2010, and will be located in the Washington DC-Metro area.

I am excited to share this update with you, and will continue to post updates as the project progresses!

(I’ll also let you know when I’ll will start accepting pre-booking dates!)
