and Innovation & Marketing Strategist at Blood Orange,

This year, BEI is all about the strategy
and execution of innovation. It's a conference where the entire innovation
process comes to life- from leadership & organizational structure, to
optimizing the idea portfolio, to process and strategy, to commercializing new
ideas, ultimately driving bottom line profitability. We hope to see you there!
