Keynote Presentation: Becoming an Idea Factory: How to Turn Yourself (and Your Organization) into an Innovation Machine | Thursday, April 18, 2024

Keynote Speaker: Kyle Scheele, The Patron Saint of Crazy Ideas

If there is one belief that is holding you back from getting the most out of your team, it is this one: some people are creative, and some people are not. In fact, creativity is a skill that can be learned. During this session, Kyle Scheele will inspire attendees to harness their own capacity for creativity, give practical tips on how to get more (and better!) ideas out of yourself and your team, and share how to build a culture where innovation thrives.
