Welcome to the 2009 Front End of Innovation US!

We are here live from the 2009 Front End of Innovation US, making final preparations for the opening of this year's conference. As readers of this blog we offer you an opportunity to share in some of the great presentations and information from the conference. This year to help you stay informed and in the loop of everything that is happening here at FEI as it is taking place, we have several tools in place like live blog posts, twitter updates, photos from Flickr, daily emails, and discussions in our LinkedIn and Facebook group that we will continue to post throughout the event.

We plan to be live-blogging throughout the conference, so be sure and subscribe to our RSS feed to continuously receive updates direct from the conference. The conference is scheduled to begin tomorrow afternoon, but we've captured some footage of the setup here at Boston. Here's a look:
