There is no ONE defining characteristic. It the combination
of exceptional keynotes, powerful content, and distinctive experiences that
make
FEI the world leader in advancing innovation.
But, with all the conference options out there, we know it
can be confusing. If you're deciding between FEI and any other innovation
event, we've made it our responsibility to help you understand what makes FEI a
truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience.
- Celebrate Collaboration and
Co-Creation. Other conferences focus on what's already been done. FEI's
all new CHALLENGE & CHANGE sessions leverage the collective
intelligence of our fabulous attendees. After each session, work
together to create a powerpoint that will be immediately distributable
to your colleagues when you leave the event.
- Client Side Shows Up Big. In 2011, 75% of participants came from the client
side, making the connections, story-telling, and best practice learning
that much more valuable.
- Mentor Program. If you're a first-timer, get paired with a veteran
who can show you the ropes and help you maximize your experience.
- Big Name Keynotes Mixed with Real-World
Industry Case Studies.
Innovation guru's like Phil Duncan, Global Chief Design Officer at
P&G * Jeff Dyer, Author, The Innovator's DNA * and Chris Anderson,
Editor-in-chief, Wired Magazine deliver expertise through storytelling,
while real-world practitioners make the content actionable.
- Remove Boundaries between Speakers and
Attendees. There
are no hierarchies at FEI. Everyone at the event is a senior leader with
something to contribute. Choose from 8 different learning formats that
encourage sharing, collaboration, and interactivity.
- Unique Speakers that Inspire you
Personally AND Professionally. FEI
goes beyond the typical corporate case study. Hear from innovators like
Brian Hart, who lost his son to a roadside ambush in Iraq, and created
an affordable robot that defuses bombs so the troops don't have to. The
result? Popular Science's "Best of What's next" and "Top
100 Innovations of the Year".
- Six Conferences in One. FEI offers more options to customize your agenda.
Benefit from 4 full-day Monday Summits: the annual Voc Summit, the
annual Portfolio Management Summit, the all New Trends & Technology
Summit, the all new Co-Creation Summit, OR a full day workshop on A
Universal Framework for the Front End of Innovation.
- Unmatched Pre-Event Networking. Other events post a list of attendees on-site. We
allow you to connect beforehand with a unique facebook-like online
program where you can see who else will be there, set up meetings with
attendees, and ask questions of speakers BEFORE you arrive.

Each
year FEI celebrates the power of collective intelligence by creating an
environment that empowers innovators to have the confidence to contribute
meaningfully. No other event exists that attacks present and future challenges
through content rich conservations and collaboration.
