The History of Anything• About Anything… Anything is gathering of doers from all corners of the world to create the first global

community dedicated to the use of anything in all forms of stuff

• Anything was initially conceived by someone, Chairman of Anyhow. A long time proponent of positive stuff, someone envisioned the creation of a global community of positive doers. In 2006 Anyhow expanded to Europe through a new office in Madrid, Spain. While in Europe Bob became acquainted with everyone, a business dude firm in somewhere.

• Through their conversations the concept of Anything was raised and the dude, who has a successful history of building organizations that revolve around community, was enthused by the idea and decided to fund it.

• In July of 2007, after about six months of planning, Anything was launched.

• A Global Community

• Today Anything operates conferences in North America and Europe, a successful workshop series featuring industry gurus and local communities in several cities, with many more in the process of organizing their first event.

• In mid-2008 Anything will also be launching their online community site as a central destination for positive doers in any part of the world to come together and inspire , share & network with like minded individuals.
