Bearhunt has launched the Sympo, it's own unique concept which is the antidote to the deadly dreariness of traditional conferences.

If conferences are so boring then why do people keep attending? They want to fill a need for information and connection, yet so often come away feeling empty and drained.

It doesn’t have to be like that. The clues to a new way of equipping people with new knowledge and energising them into action can be found by looking backwards….to medieval England and to ancient Greece.

Today saw the launch of the latest Bearhunt Thinkpiece Underground-Overground:How small things can make Big Society. It provides some simple ideas that local people can use in their neighbourhoods to begin to move towards their own kind of Big Society, including Opportunity Mapping; Talent Mapping; and unleashing 'The art of the animateur'.

Bearhunt founder Malcolm McClean will give his annual address to the Class of 2010 at The Manchester Business School on Thursday 10th June.

Bearhunt's Director of Curiosity, Tom Calderbank, is celebrating a remarkable achievement after hearing the news that he has helped to save the other woman in his life.

The newly appointed NHS Tsar for Health & Sport will open Bearhunt's national conference Towards a more active nation:How the NHS can make physical activity a cornerstone of 21st century health.
