I have joined Evan Cartwright of Seattle Rep and Betsy Groat of Seattle Symphony, as a leader of the Seattle Tessitura Community. I wanted to give you all a few updates. If you haven&amp;#39;t already heard, the Tessitura community-at-large has decided to no longer use the term &amp;quot;user groups&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;TUG&amp;quot; and has transitioned to &amp;quot;Tessitura Communities&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;TC&amp;quot;. As a result of this transition, we did some re-thinking of our our own name, and decided to re-name and expand our region from Seattle Tessitura Community to Pacific Northwest Tessitura Community. This makes us more inclusive of our friends at Spokane Symphony, who have joined us in the past, and allows us to invite you, Portland users, to join our community. We hope you will join us! Our group has been dormant for the last year+ and we are making plans to revive this group and have some meetings in the coming months (starting in February). If you are interested in joining this larger Tessitura Community please go here and click the join button . Also, please share with your staff to do the same. If you know of any dates that we should avoid when planning our meetings please email them to me at kananir@sct.org. Updates on when the meetings take place will go out through the group linked above, so be sure you&amp;#39;re subscribed to receive email updates. Thank you!

TLCC is fast approaching and we’re looking forward to seeing those of you attending TLCC2018 in a few weeks! There&amp;#39;s so much to do at the Conference so as you plan your conference experience, we want to take this opportunity to invite you be a part of Open Space Discussions . Open Space is a wonderful opportunity for us to bring questions forward and dig deep into discovery with the community. This is our chance to explore those topics that are most-relevant and important to us. What’s that one topic that you’re most interested in diving into with colleagues from around the Network? Write that down and bring it with you to Open Space. Don’t have a topic in mind? Just bring your experience as an arts &amp;amp; cultural professional – your colleagues will have plenty of conversation starters you can join in on. The Open Space Opening Circle begins on Sunday this year and the discussions continue throughout the week. Here’s a look at the full schedule for Open Space: Sunday 15 July 6:00PM Opening Circle: Setting the Agenda Monday 16 July 1:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:30PM Discussion Sessions Tuesday 17 July 1:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:30PM Discussion Sessions Wednesday 18 July 10.45AM, 12:15PM, 1:30PM Discussion Sessions Thursday 19 July 9:00AM Discussion Session 10:45AM Closing Circle Watch our video on Open Space Discussions or check out the Convener Basics resource to learn more.

I just wanted to reach out to share a great feature of TLCC we are working on called Open Space Discussions . Open Space Discussions are a way for each of us to bring questions to the conference that are not currently on the agenda. A chance to explore those important topics, to build community, and create a proceeding of hundreds of great conversations between arts and cultural professionals from around the world. As you are thinking about TLCC 2017 What’s the one topic that you’re most interested in diving into with colleagues? Please bring it with you to the Opening Circle for Open Space Discussions . You don&amp;#39;t have to be an expert on the topic, just be willing to share your question with others. If you don’t have a topic in mind? Don&amp;#39;t worry about it just bring your experience, and curiosity as an arts &amp;amp; cultural professional – your colleagues will have plenty of conversation starters you can join in on. The &amp;quot; Open Space Opening Circle &amp;quot; on Monday is when this all begins and the discussions will continue throughout the week. Here’s a look at the full schedule for Open Space Discussions at TLCC 2017: Monday 14 Aug 9:00 AM Opening Circle: Setting the Agenda &amp;lt;---- 1:30 PM First Group of Discussion Sessions Tuesday 15 Aug 9AM, 10:45AM, 1:30PM Discussion Sessions Wednesday 16 Aug 10:45AM, 1:30PM, 3:15PM Discussion Sessions Thursday 17 Aug 9AM Discussion Session 10:45AM Closing Circle What to know more. Here is a little video we have created about Open Space Discussions at TLCC 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs_l2Tia4QY Looking forward to seeing you in San Diago!
