Open Innovation:
Making a Step-Change Impact |
|
How can Open Innovation make an impact on your organization? In fact, how can you use OI to make an order-of-magnitude impact on your organization, a “Step-Change?” Find out directly from our global roster of pre-eminent Open Innovation experts.
yet2.com’s Executive Briefing is an intimate technology scouting and networking conference for executive Open Innovation, technology, R&D, licensing, and business leaders. Recent conferences have averaged 120–140 leaders representing 100+ global corporations from six continents. Big enough to be global, small enough to encourage meaningful conversation.
Join us at our eleventh Executive Briefing. It convenes at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, May 17–19, 2011. Our speakers are thought-leaders, decision-makers, and practitioners who have made Open Innovation work for their organizations.
Gain an edge with yet2.com’s “Day 2” Technologies. You’ll learn about 16 cutting-edge technologies and serious technology needs on Thursday morning, when small-to-medium enterprises and large organizations alike offer their newest innovations to, and seek help from, our global audience. This year’s highlight technology categories include sustainable packaging, materials — lighter/stronger/better/cleaner, consumer home/health medical devices, and electronics.

Your Colleagues Are Saying...
“The forum brings a range of IP-savvy companies together for real dialogue and potential future business relationships. I enjoyed not only the presentations but the many hallway discussions—this was an excellent networking event.”
—William R. LaFontaine, Vice President, Business Development, IBM Corporation
“I participated in yet2.com’s conference for the first time in 2006. I was astonished by the wide variety and high quality of the human network that yet2.com has created. With the help of yet2.com, I successfully developed a valuable network with other participants, which helped me to enhance global viewpoints for problem solving. As a result, this provided me with appropriate solutions to some critical issues in several specific on-going projects. I truly appreciate the assistance of yet2.com’s professional staff.”
—Keiji Ushijima, Executive Expert, Intellectual Asset Business Development and Licensing Division, NEC Corporation
“I appreciate the opportunity to have discussed the technology with the ‘movers & shakers’ that offer the potential for commercialization. By far, the Conference has provided the finest opportunity I have had to get my message across to those who can make a difference.”
—Arnold Kelly, President, ZYW Corporation
“The 2006 conference was my first yet2.com meeting. I was positively surprised by the mind set of the attending people. They all seemed to be there to share and to try and find connections.
