A WORLD CLASS EVENT DRIVING INNOVATION
Why an IdeaFestival
We believe that with ideas we create the future. Much of the mesmerizing innovation that we are witnessing in the 21st century emerges at and from the intersections of many disciplines – science, the arts, business, design, technology, education, medicine and more. Unfortunately, most people have little opportunity to get out of their field to learn about, discuss and explore how to integrate (and apply to their area of interest) diverse and important ideas and innovations. The IdeaFestival® remedies this often missed opportunity by providing a unique “space” for the convergence of ideas. This series of events attracts people and leading thinkers from across the nation and around the globe.
The Festival
Founded in 2000, the IdeaFestival (IF) is a world-class event that attracts leading and highly diverse thinkers from across the nation and around the globe to explore and celebrate innovation, imagination and cutting-edge ideas.
The IdeaFestival is a unique non-linear event designed to stretch people's horizon's and promote breakthrough thinking... utilizing multiple venues to showcase, discuss and "connect" important ideas in science, the arts, design, business, film, technology, education, etc.
The Festival is designed to appeal to a broad cross-section of people - with presenters selected for their ideas, achievements, and their ability to communicate to a wide-ranging audience.
An important value of the IF is its accessibility. Strong support from sponsors allows the event to be priced at a level (with many events free) that provides for participation by a large and diverse audience, including students and young people.
IdeaFestival Premise
The premise for the IdeaFestival is straightforward:
To bring together people with diverse backgrounds, knowledge and perspectives, to discuss and explore innovation and cutting-edge ideas. Based on the realization that answers are everywhere, the IdeaFestival promotes cross-fertilization of ideas. Much more than a conference, the IdeaFestival is a catalyst for high-speed innovation, product development, and creative endeavors.
