Why should
you return to FEI this year?
Each year, the Front End of Innovation 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.
We know you have limited budgets to attend events each
year, and want to be respectful of your time and investment. That's why there
are there Are No Repeat Performances. While other events repurpose content and
speakers, we ensure fresh new perspectives from the hard to get speakers each
year.
The
FEI main conference features 100% new speakers. No repurposed content.
PLUS - FEI 2012 features a Special Alumni-Only
Curriculum - with new content and experiences created ONLY for past attendees.
- Bonus time with Opening Keynote Dr. A.K. Pradeep and
His Brain-Scanning Headset!
(Tuesday, 5:30-6:00) You may not know Dr. A.K. Pradeep now, but trust
us, you'll be wowed by his opening night keynote Monday night on
'Secrets of Appealing to the Subconscious Mind: The Role of
Neuroscience's in How We Decide.' After his talk, FEI Alumni only will
have extra Q&A time with Dr. Pradeep. You'll be able to ask him
questions and try on his MYND creation: the world's first full-brain,
wireless, dry, EEG headset. Are you ready to have your mind read?
- Special Alumni Welcome Cocktail Reception (Tuesday, 6:00-6:30) Right
after the Q&A with Dr. Pradeep, join him and your fellow alumni for
a welcome cocktail reception in the Alumni Only room. This is a great
chance to catch up with those you've met at past events, and get to know
the people you'll be spending time with over the course of the event in
a smaller, more intimate group.
- Bonus Q&A Time with Keynote Jeff Dyer, Author,
The Innovator's DNA
(Wednesday, 5:30-6:15) Skip the lines at the book-signing! Jeff Dyer is
the co-author with Clayton Christensen of the much buzzed about book The
Innovator's DNA. Join him after his keynote session for a special
Q&A and informal discussion reserved exclusively for FEI Alumni.
- Special Personal & Leadership Development Session (Thursday, 10:00-10:45) With the current pace of
business, it's hard to find time in the day to work on our own personal
development, our personal brand. This is YOUR time to focus on YOU. During this session, Mike Myatt, America's Top CEO Coach, Forbes
Contributor, and Author of Leadership Matters, explores three key
development areas essential to accelerating your career: Being a Better
Leader, Staying Business Young, and Making Your Personal Brand Relevant.
- Bonus Q&A Time with Keynote Rob Cross, Author,
Driving Results through Social Networks (Thurday, 2:45-3:30) It is no longer possible to
build a powerful sphere of influence and be a social media novice at the
same time. Benefit from extra time keynote Rob Cross, Associate
Professor in Management at UVA's McIntire School of Commerce after his
keynote for special Q&A and informal discussion with your fellow FEI
Alumni.
