They will include 45+ neuroscientists & clinical psychologists studying creativity, artists, innovation thought leaders and people who have helped design and launch some of the most successful products out there. Put simply, this is the cream of the crop when it comes to who you should be listening to about innovation and creativity.
2. No travel required, it's all online
Finally, a summit where you don't have to pay for the ticket, flight, expensive hotel, food and headache tablets, only to end up sitting in a ballroom where it is either hot as a sauna or freezing like the arctic. Instead, you can tune in to each and every talk from wherever you are, requiring nothing more than an internet connection.
3. You will learn new insights to help you break through your barriers
It is vital to continue to invest in yourself to grow, professionally and personally. The insights which you will learn at this summit will help you break through whatever is stopping you from taking your ideas and finally making them happen. Whether it is learning how to talk to your boss about your new ideas, breaking through your writer's block or finding out why your customers aren't reacting the way you expected, you will definitely learn something that will make a fundamental difference in how you view innovation and creativity.
4. You are in control of what and when you want to learn
Every session is hosted as an online webinar, which brings a wealth of advantages to you. Not only can you pick and choose exactly which session you want to listen to (as there will never be the problem of having to choose one and miss another), but in case you are busy while one of the sessions is going on, you can catch the replay for up to 48 hours for free as well.
