Spaces are strictly limited and we will allocate them on a first come first serve basis so register now!
“The data show, in particular, that many companies are simply not bold enough—their strategies are not designed for big moves."
Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick by Chris Bradley, Martin Hirt, Sven Smit
Why attend?
Time to get out of the building and be inspired by all that is possible!
Come and learn the key strategies and tactics you can implement to make innovation part of your operating system. Blenheim Chalcot will also gift an entrepreneur digital course of its inhouse training materials to every attendee on the night!
Atlanta is the United States best kept secret hub of innovation but not for much longer. The ingredients of Georgia Tech, effective economic policy, a joined-up eco-system and a huge army of start-ups make innovation the standard modus operandi in Atlanta. Mix this with the global experience of Blenheim Chalcot, world famous entrepreneurs, leading thinkers, and doers and you are in for a stupendous event!
Who should attend?
Medium and large company executives who understand that without Innovation as a core competence their organisations risk being out-competed. CEO’s, COO’s, CFO’s, Heads of Strategy, Culture, People, Marketing, Customer Success, Learning and Sales will all learn new building blocks and approaches to competing and dealing with change.
Our VIP Guests
Each world class innovator and thinker will share rich insights in five jam-packed minutes of wisdom. Its going to be a night of microphone drops so don’t miss it! We will update the speaker list constantly over the coming weeks.
