IDEATION SESSION

“The best part of the Edison Awards is getting to meet other visionary thinkers–so many of them all in one place. The excitement level from those idea exchanges was palpable.”

Experiencing the birth of ideas at an ideation session... This morning, for the first time, our Meet the Innovators Forum will feature an Ideation Session as a part of our program. The world-renowned Mayo Clinic will present a problem for which they want ideas, which will be tackled simultaneously by multiple tables composed of highly innovative, entrepreneurial individuals in a specially-designed rapid prototyping of ideas. The dynamics of the session, however, dictate that participation be limited to only a relatively small number of participants. If you are interested to participate in this one-hour session (10:15-11:15am) and have not already signed up (in response to our Attendee Bulletin), please notify one of the Edison Awards’ staff members to determine if space is still available.
