Many of you have shared what The Big Idea means to you, how it has helped you, what you always look for and what has inspired you.

Here's what some of you had to say:

A idea before it's time? Craig Parkes says "The Big Idea helped me network before Facebook, find cast before StarNow, and still helps me find potential work, projects, crew and employees as well as get some pretty cool news."

As for being on the pulse... Sarah McKay says, "I love your eclectic mix of updates on the art happenings in NZ and beyond. Keeping art real and keeping it exciting. And I also love that you do not over bomb my inbox. You have got it just right!"

And feeling part of a community... Marie-Claire says, "To me, The Big Idea is a place where I 'fit'. It helps me connect with like-minded people, share my ideas and promote creative events."

Helpful to creative businesses. "As a new comer to the field of film & documentary making; I use the specialist reports as an educational tool as well as the links to corresponding articles. I have found its resources, news updates and articles invaluable." says Deborah Watene McKenzie

And also helpful to creative careers. "The Big Idea has been a part of my creative career ever since it (TBI) began (was it really 10 years ago??!) Might sound a bit naff but I really couldn't imagine operating without it now." says Candy Elsmore.

And it doesn't only happen online. "We acknowledge the enormous contribution that TBI Assist made to the success of the establishment of the New Zealand Dance Company.

When the project began to develop a strategic and business plan for a new national contemporary dance company, we knew that we needed an experienced, process-driven facilitator with insight and organisational understanding as a mentor and facilitator.

Elisabeth Vaneveld openly shared her experience, contacts and insights from the very start of our project and openly supported us with best practice examples, techniques and guidance throughout the project. We firmly believe that the honest and open feedback that we received from Elisabeth and the participants in our planning sessions really strengthened our work and the resulting plan reflects the valuable input of many supporters and stakeholders." Frances Turner and Shona McCullagh, The New Zealand Dance Company.
