I recently became aware of a Virtual Innovation Conference in my ongoing quest to uncover serious innovation activity (Big I or small i) around the world. Happy to see (in this case), some Danish representation (as a 4th generation Danish-American on one side of my family), and at least one of my podcast interviewees (Anil Rathi - listen to that interview on Crowdcasting and Idea Competitions, if you haven't already), involved in this program.
What makes it "virtual?" There is no physical conference, it's all web-based, which even given this being the year 2007, is still fairly innovative (and rare). We've partnered with the conference organizers to grow even more awareness for this program, which I hope you can take advantage of.
The details of the program are below, as well as via the conference website of course. All content will be archived for some "Long Tail" viewing as well - so even if you can't make the "live" event, you can still get the information.
