Past Speakers
Join us on Tuesday, January 23 at the Historic Academy of Medicine in Atlanta for our second Innovation for All Conference focused on "Building a Deliberately Innovative Culture." Learn how entrepreneurs, large enterprises, and educational institutions use deliberate innovation practices to avoid common failure paths and innovate reliably.
The conference will include a demonstration of Flashpoint techniques in a master class-type setting, with innovation teams from startups, large companies and from Georgia Tech*. Founders in Flashpoint's Cohort 8 will also share the deliberate innovation methods they employed to further their quest for authentic demand. Current enterprise teams include Mercedes-Benz USA and NCR. Following the presentations, guests will have an opportunity to connect with teams and learn more about each other.
*Startup Founders interested in participating in Master Class, please send us a note.
Flashpoint works closely with founders to enable them to think clearly about their businesses. At events in New York and San Francisco, the founders in Flashpoint's Cohort 8 will present, and share where they are headed next.
