The Innovation Paradox

The Innovation Paradox

Do innovation conferences really serve their purpose or are they just a platform for speakers to showcase themselves? The author of this article argues that innovation conferences are often boring, and networking opportunities are limited due to the rigidly structured nature of the events. 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.
