The Innovation Paradox

Do innovation conferences really serve their purpose or are they just a platform for speakers to showcase themselves?

To improve innovation conferences, the author suggests they become more discreet and curated. The purpose of the event should be clear and aimed at a big goal. Additionally, innovation conferences should provide hands-on experiences to foster real innovation. The article concludes by suggesting that innovation should be embedded in everyday life, rather than just a concept for conferences.
