Some of the world’s trickiest problems will be put to some of the world’s greatest thinkers and strategists to find creative solutions in Melbourne in September 2010.
Questions such as how do we re-think the future? How to lead creativity and innovation in organizations? Constructing communities – a contradiction in terms? Mental health and mental wealth? How war can bring peace? will be posed to Edward de Bono; Edward Luttwak, former advisor to the White House; Patrick McGorry, Australian of the Year; Mark Scott, MD of the ABC; Austin Williams, architect of the Future Cities Project; and Dr Peter Farrell US Entrepreneur of the Year.
They are among 35 world class speakers, thought leaders and artists who have been invited to give their answer to the $1 billion question – Imagine If…
Creative Innovation 2010 is the brainchild of soprano, social entrepreneur and Founder Creative Universe and Creativity Australia, Tania de Jong AM, who believes that creativity is the strategic tool of the 21st Century.
“Creativity is critical to Australia in making the transition to a sustainable innovation and knowledge-based economy. Creativity is also vital for unlocking human potential and increasing wellbeing,” she says.
“Innovation is vital for organisations exposed to globalisation, increasing competition, diversity among consumers and rapidly changing technologies.
The conference features concerts, deep conversations and master classes.
