While this may eventually be a cool thing, what he is requesting is too much if an initial commitment from you without a clear sense for the quality of the people or ideas. What about instead: IDEA 1: 8 of the top thinkers will be invited to a day long offsite. Half day is each if the 8 presenting their theory or project 20 or 30 minutes each) and half the day is discussing the merits of each as well as the theoretical considerations. Your panel of experts (Summers, etc) will select one of the projects for a 50-100k pilot. IDEA 2 Each of the 8-10 invitees will submit their ideas/proposals to you 2 weeks before the date of the one day offsite. One day structured offsite will ensure. 3 projects will be picked at 15k each. IDEA 3 Half day will be spent with each person discussing state of the state and the group will be challenged to come up with a group project. 100k will be provided for the implementation of the idea and the group will need to sort out how and who. IDEA 4 Hold a conference call with all 8 who plan to attend and ask them how to best use their time and structure the event. Let then know that the end point can be either funding one or two great projects or hosting a larger convening or ? Ask if they have ideas. Clear outputs, individual benefit etc are very much at the project level. This convening is one step before that, at the concept level. Hosting in London or NYC is fine and relatively easy. It would be cheaper than elsewhere. Hope that is useful. EFTA00662165
