There is still time to register and plug in to the Global Innovation Exchange 2007. It started today and runs through November 9th, but there is still time to register and get up to speed without missing a thing!  The entire conference is right on your computer, so you won’t need to travel, eat hotel food or even dress for success. 

The virtual conference is a groundbreaking online event focused on collaboratively sharing and diffusing innovation insights, strategies and next practices from around the world. I am one of the thought leaders featured in this three-day event, and I’m joined by leading experts from Johnson & Johnson, the Center, Denmark, and numerous other organizations from the US, Europe, India and the Middle East.  You’ll learn about emerging innovation models, tools and approaches in what is truly a  “learning community.”

Through real-time interactions, you can participate in introductions, presentations, Q&A sessions, informal networking and even facilitated breakout groups. Most of the presentations are delivered in the form of narrated PowerPoint slideshows that can be accessed and viewed at any time during the conference. You can even post questions and interact with the presenter and each other inside the presenter’s virtual conference room.

And while you won’t need business cards, you can do a lot of networking in the “Collaboration Café.”  A directory of participant profiles, instant messaging and virtual meeting rooms encourage additional networking and knowledge sharing. In addition, a variety of resources including speakers’ presentations, white papers, articles, and website links are available to all participants through a searchable knowledgebase.
