So there is an innovation virtual summit about to happen between 28th November 2017 and 8th December 2017. Each day you can watch for free the different video sessions, with new video sessions released on a daily basis. The final schedule will be sent by email after your registration.
For some weeks this has been in preparation and as I am lucky enough to be one of the curators and hosts, I had the chance to chat with SIX terrific and highly knowledgeable people around different subject that are dear to all our hearts, overcoming barriers and resolving many tough issues surrounding innovation.
So What Is Your #1 Question or Challenge in the next 6 to 18 months?
There is a very good chance there is an answer or a trigger into getting you closer to resolving your questions and challenges by tuning into and listening to some 28+ Innovation Experts Sharing Their Strategies and Tactics That Work.
The organizers crowdsourced the questions from their global community of 29,000+ corporate innovators, and they never imagined they would get such a huge response. The point is “Whatever challenge you’re trying to tackle right now, someone else already has figured it out. So by asking these 28 innovation experts to answer them, we clustered the questions into broader themes and then explored these in exchanges that had different depth and breadth to them that can give real value to many of the ‘burning’ questions we, as innovators, have to face.
It’s free, and you can attend on any device, from anywhere you have an internet connection. The interview talks will be available online to watch at your own convenience – there’s no strict schedule to follow.
Virtual Summits have a great future to support
I think virtual summits are becoming a real differentiator and one of the main reasons to work on this. This is organized by the team from www.intrapreneurship.com under their innov8rs brand.
So why should virtual be for you? Some benefits suggested by the organizers.
There is no travel and you can watch anywhere with an internet connection. In the office, during your commute, on your couch. There’s no flight or hotel room to book, saving you thousands of euros, travel time, and time away from the office and your family. No need to get a budget from your boss, how does that sound? For me utterly worth the time and effort to learn at my own pace, where I choose, when I choose.
The flexible schedule simply works for you, in your time and need. The interview talks will be available online to watch at your own convenience – there’s no strict schedule to follow and everything will be available until December 15th, and if you want to purchase these longer you’ll get access to all the interviews and bonus material forever. Follow this link to sign up.
It is a really unique set of experts. Virtual events are becoming more important for us all, to get better understandings across at times that are more convenient. They can be increasingly tailored to get so much closer to your specific needs. In this case crowdsourcing, clustering and expert exchanges give a closer experience to addressing your challenges in a broader context. I think this beats so many of those bland ‘one-Corporate view only’ set of experiences that really so very often provide little ‘take home’ value apart from shades of jealousy or “we wish”. These speakers at this conference are very committed to driving innovation, it is their passion, work and diversity of experiences that get drawn out, and I, in my discussions, do certainly got the distinct impression are genuinely committed to helping the broader innovation community, meaning you, to succeed.
 Let me highlight the SIX experts I worked with
I had the delight of working on SIX key topics with a terrific group of knowledgeable people. I gained from the exchanges, it generated such terrific insights, ideas, and triggers to lift up my understanding and help me ‘fill in’ my questions and set me some of my own challenges for next year. They really did discuss different topics that are often top of mind for all innovators, intrapreneurs, and teams tackling innovation. The value also becomes one of those not working in the innovation space but have direct responsibility or simply curiosity on different parts of the innovation story will gain immeasurably from registering and attending this virtual summit.
The group I shared thoughts and heard their ideas and experiences on overcoming problems, dealing with challenges or simply drawing down from their experiences were stimulating sessions. I’d encourage you to catch all of these, as well as many, many other great exchanges.
