Hewlett Packard brought a group of 140 software developers to our comfortable conference center for a couple days of innovation, creativity and team building. There were a few organized activities, then the participants were on their own to share their passion with fellow attendees. One participant gave a painting workshop, then had his students paint together. They completed a beautiful painting in just over an hour.

Participants could join as many or as few workshops they wanted. Post-it art was new to me!

I’m not quite sure about the theme of this workshop, but they put together some nice portraits. I recognize Homer Simpson!

Participants were free to join as many workshops they liked or hike, boat, or just relax in the sun.

Hewlett Packard also planned fun social events including a beach bonfire with s’mores and a drum circle on the first night. On their second night, volunteers from the group worked together to prepare their culinary specialties and provide dinner for the entire group.

The event was a huge success and Hewlett Packard plans to return in the spring or fall of 2011 for more creativity and innovation on Fallen Leaf Lake.
