Innovation Convergence, whose theme this year is Innovation Immersion, is in just two weeks! And it's a new day for this conference -- for the last several years it has been in Minneapolis in September. This year, San Diego during October 16 to 18.

As usual, Innovation Network founder Joyce Wycoff has pulled together an impressive list of events, including the usual pre-conference symposia and workshops, there are 4 Innovation Labs, a 2-part Innovation FastStart workshop, and two deep conversations around Innovating Innovation. Says Joyce, "These sessions provide an opportunity for you to vary your conference experience and take a deep dive into one or more areas of interest."

Conference speakers include author Dan Pink, Fast Company founder Alan Webber, and Jeneanne M. Rae, as well as innovators from Best Buy, Cargill, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Honeywell, Genentech, Wells Fargo, Wachovia, Fed Ex, Gucci, Pitney Bowes, Chevron, Kimberley-Clark, and General Motors.

I am not speaking this year, but I will be attending the conference and hope to be blogging, if not real-time, then daily. Hope to see you there!

Joyce has set up a conference blog, and the official registration site is here. There are podcasts with some of the speakers available (after signup) on the IIR site for this event.
