Breakfast with InnoCentive                 Filled to Capacity!

Learn to Solve Your Most Complex Challenges through Open Innovation

• What if you could speed up your innovation efforts, reduce (or eliminate) failures and save money at the same time? 
• What if you could reach beyond your established talent pool – your team, your department, even your company – to innovate better?
• What if you had the chance to solve your complex, previously unsolvable Challenges by broadcasting them to the world and paying only for the solutions that work? 

The solution may be Open Innovation.

Join InnoCentive, the world leader in Open Innovation, for an interactive discussion hosted by InnoCentive Founder, Alpheus Bingham, President and CEO, Dwayne Spradlin and Chief Innovation Evangelist, Stephen Shapiro and featuring a panel of world class innovators including Medtronic’s Vice President Innovation Excellence, Mike Hess, who will share their open innovation best practices and discuss how organizations can speed up their innovation clock by tapping into a large and diverse group of Solvers.
