From the Founders: Connecting, Communicating, and Collaborating for Excellence and Innovation in Education Taisir Subhi Yamin; Ken W. McCluskey This past July 7-10, the International Centre for Innovation in Education (ICIE) held its 11th International Conference in partnership with and at Université Paris Descartes in France. This event, with its theme of Excellence in Education: The Creativity-Innovation Challenge, was highly successful. Todd Lubart, the Conference Chair, and Co-Chairs Linda Jarvin and Sandra Linke, presided over a truly international gathering: there were 375 participants from 85 countries (the largest groups coming from Australia, Canada, USA, Italy, Turkey, and Spain). Nine keynote speakers were featured, together with 180 breakout sessions, 12 posters, 12 symposia, 16 post-conference workshops, and two award presentations. One of the goals of ICIE is to support practitioners, parents, and programs by disseminating relevant information and materials as widely as possible. To that end, copies of several ICIE publications (including some issues of this journal) were distributed free of charge to many participants at the Paris Conference. As we noted in the previous volume of IJTDC, ICIE has recently published a number of books and monographs, including A Zen Companion In a Just and Effective Classroom (Bergsgaard, 2013), Life Expects:
