About InnovationCamp
Innovation will be the defining challenge for business (and society) in America in the next 10+ years. Growth through innovation, not acquisition, will be the engine of value creation. GE understands this. P&G understands this. But there’s still a lot of learning to do all the way around the table. How does innovation work? How do corporations and independent entrepreneurs work together? Can innovation be outsourced?
Interested in mastering Innovation practice? We’re doing a mashup of executives, managers, entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, artists, anthropologists and others across disciplines to participate and collaborate—two essential ingredients of innovative thinking.
Following BarCamp rules:
* InnovationCamp is free and open to everyone
* Together, we’ll decide the agenda at the event itself
* No pitch zone: No sales presentations, but all experience, ideas, discussion and sponsors welcome
* Float ideas and thoughts in the wiki

One week to go! Time for the big push! Let's get the word out! We'll have two kinds of sessions: presentations (or panels) and problem/solution sessions. If you have ideas for either session, create a page on the wiki:
