Unforgettable
- Of the many creativity and innovation
conferences each year,
the one I consistently choose to attend is the annual
ACA conference. The
atmosphere is friendly, communicative and unpretentious. Attendees
have wide variety of skills and backgrounds. Each
year ACA attracts notable keynoters who deliver unforgettable insights,
e.g., last year Edward de Bono traveled from Dubai
in the Middle East to keynote
at ACA. This year's list of keynoters is again
mpressive. I am particularly looking
forward to the keynote by Sam Stern,
Dean of the Oregon State College of Education and author
of prize winning book "Corporate
Creativity: How Innovation and Improvement Actually
Happen."
David Tanner, Former Director DuPont Center
for Creativity & Innovation
If
you are interested in learning about how innovation
and creativitycan make your organization more successful,
this event is for you
.Jim
Butler, Manager of Creative Industries Development, City
of Austin
In a world that has become
quite inconceivably and globally complex, leaders
at all levels need to learn new, open, and creative
ways to solve problems, initiate
solutions, and manage change. The 2006 ACA Conference
has been designed with such persons in mind, which
is to say, it has been designed for you. I
hope to see you there.
