History of the AIN

History of the AIN

The AIN was founded in 2002 by Alain Rostain, Paul Z Jackson and Michael Rosenburg. We put together a mailing list, a newsletter and then gathered a group of 30 or so pioneering improvisers for our first conference in San Diego.

Our first website www.appliedimprov.net was created by Johnnie Moore. Our real-life and virtual community has grown year by year, with a series of conferences and roadshows in North America and Europe.

In November 2007, the website and blog moved to the social network appliedimprov.ning.com created during the Banff conference by Leif Hansen.
