2006 I dreamt about coming to Australia helping to organize the logistics of 2006 WUCC (World Ultimate Club Championships) in Perth. 

2008 after a barcamp on Lean Thinking in Leipzig I had the following dream, "Doing a lean journey to Australia (or some other distant part of the world) - now is becoming reality".

2011 a call from Sydney made it clear: I am coming to Amplify Festival 2011 and gathering11 :-)

To make it all happen and let it become a collaborative learning journey with YOU, please support me for the trip by funding the travels and hotels for one week over there. 20% of your funds will go directly to the Semperoper Ballett of http://semperoper.de to make more of this http://bit.ly/jpsJZ1 (Dancing for the Land of the Rising Sun, organized by Jiří Bubeníček, Principal Dancer of Semperoper Ballett) possible in the future.

In order to spread the word about your own business, ideas, and networks I have added the attendee list option (Name, city, website, blog) - If you rather prefer to sponsor otherwise without putting your name in the public please contact me via ralf_lippold(at)web(dot)de

All exceeding money (which is not used up for the trip) will be given to a project (already in progress) which combines arts, science, and business to strive in the beautiful city of Dresden, a hot spot of innovation and performing arts for centuries.
