The purpose is to improve their communication skills. After two hours of this, they change places with their partners, and "run" the whiteboard side. 3/ An Innovators conference, where every idea is immediately voted upon, and at the end of each hour, a "top 10" is calculated, based on votes. At the end of the day, only the Top ideas of each hour are considered, and they are put in competition with each other, to get a "top of the tops" I have gor some for you:

Very interesting Innovation programs that are different from every seminar or conference. Take a look at http://www.Techcrossing.com (and http://www.Innovationplayground.net).

The activities can be organized around a certain innovation challenge and will range from jugling to blue sky brainstorming and even a basic modeling workshop.

A 100% Outdoor conference, something like an "Innovation Picnic" A bottom line focused, and also without speakers conference fee: Participants go to conference "just" for networking with other "innovators to be", venture capitalists, and other innovation ecosystem incumbents. Some of them would pay a conference "sponsor" fee (which would help to cover conference costs and having some profit). The twist here is that Sponsor fee would be associated to their bottom line improvement having come from a pre-commited and pre-implemented SIT service ;-) Be well... Fabian a couple more…

A conference without speakers: Just composed by facilitator lead workshops. A conference without a pre-established agenda: The agenda would emerge from first day collective interaction. A conference with a price depending on a final innovation skills assessment grade. Be well... Fabian What about… ?
