I’ll be journeying to Las Vegas later this month to attend the Open Innovation Conference from Marcus Evans. I’ll be blogging for OpenInnovators.net while I’m there. This conference should provide the opportunity to gather a wide variety of perspectives on how open innovation can be integrated within various stages of innovation systems. I presented with BrainReactions at the last Marcus Evans innovation conference in October and found it an excellent event to have conversations, hear perspectives, and bring back innovation theory and practice to help organizations. So, I’m excited to attend this one and blog about it on this site. This conference will be held February 25-27 at The Venetian and will feature presentations from innovation professionals from a wide variety of industries. Presenters will come from throughout different organizations, including:
The Global Innovation Exchange 2007 (Nov 7-9) is a virtual, online conference focused on sharing and diffusing innovation insights, strategies and next practices from around the world. It is a 100% virtual conference, which is one of the many reasons why I’m really looking forward to taking part in this event.
Speakers and hosts include:
Deborah Arcoleo: Director, Global Innovation, Johnson & Johnson
Marianne Toftegaard Poulsen: Executive Director, Innovation Center Denmark
Anil K. Rathi: President & Founder, Idea Crossing, Inc.
Cheryl Perkins: Former CIO, Kimberly Clark; Founder, InnovationEdge
I especially look forward to Anil Rathi’s presentation on crowdcasting and crowdsourcing, as well as to have a chat with Soren Kaplan, who has been involved in several Open Innovation consulting projects during the past years. FYI: you can still register (199 USD). Let me know if you’re attending… I hope to see you there!
On IDC’s European ICT Forum 2007, Don Tapscott presented his latest thoughts and insights on Wikinomics - Enterprise 2.0, the subject of his bestseller Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything. The presentation gives a good overview of web 2.0 in relation to corporate strategy, and provides some insightful examples.
