The Valen Group

The FEI agenda this year [2024] is truly remarkable, covering all the hot-button issues top of mind for innovators. From collaboration to AI to people and talent, I'm eager to dive into the learning, sharing, and the collaborative spirit that defines this event. Here's to another inspiring and insightful FEI.

There’s Only One Place...

The Innovator’s Voice is the Large Majority

Held in the heart of Boston's innovation district, FEI is the one event where client-side corporate leaders are the large majority, creating space for you to identify trends, swap hacks and develop best practices with your peers and their counterparts responsible for innovation throughout the organization.

Inspiration Meets Action

From big name “thinkers” to in the trenches innovators- FEI's diverse programming showcases the rule breakers, trend setters, dreamers, and doers leading change at their organizations. Leave with fresh inspiration and a host of new best practices to benefit your organization.

Interdisciplinary Interactivity

With countless applied case studies, roundtable sessions, interactive workshops, gamified programming, actionable problem-solving game plans and off-site innovation experiences, FEI ensures you connect with the experts you need to know so you leave with actionable, problem-solving game plans that you can put to use right away at your organization.

Fresh Content, Showcased First

The skilled FEI advisory board comprises innovators and corporate changemakers from some of the world's best companies who scour the globe to ensure you’re hearing the most prolific stories from around the world, first.

Innovation, R&D & Product Meet Interdisciplinary, Cross-Industry Peers

FEI is the only forum where diverse points of view from interdisciplinary, cross-industry collaborators all along the innovation value chain unite for three full days to identify trends, share best practices and solve shared dilemmas.
