InnoCentive Joins The Economist at the Ideas Economy
Last week we attended The Economist's Ideas Economy: Human Potential conference in New York City. As you may recall, InnoCentive is the chosen Challenge Partner for this series of Economist conferences. I am writing to share with you some of the energy and outcomes from that conference and to tell you a bit more about the role played by InnoCentive. The Challenge was advertised on numerous Economist communication vehicles including print advertisements and webbased promotion. Overall we received over 1200 project rooms and 119 submissions. Ultimately one Solver was chosen to receive the $10,000 award and to be highlighted at the Human Potential conference in New York.
The meeting took place in a swank,

InnoCentive President and CEO Dwayne Spradlin was also given considerable opportunity to participate onstage during the conference. On the first day of the conference, Dwayne was chosen as one of the six conference members to lead a 20 minute unconference discussion on the future of work in a Challenge driven world. Dwayne was given the opportunity to articulate a compelling 3minute preview of this topic and as a result his unconference session was one of the most well attended. Likewise, InnoCentive SAB member Chris Meyer and two other InnoCentive Solvers, Mercedes Talle and Tristram Hewitt, Challenge finalists in the Cyber School Challenge were given the opportunity to run unconference discussions. It was clear that InnoCentive and our Solvers played an active and valued role in the conference.
On the second day of the conference, Dwayne and Vijay announced our next EconomistInnoCentive Challenge on Biological Solutions to Global Warming which will be prominently featured at the Ideas Economy: Intelligent Infrastructure Conference in February 2011. There was a palpable enthusiasm in the room after Vijay explained the inspiration and background of the Challenge, so we expect good things to come of that excitement.
