Why a Conference?

 

Imagine culture and technology at the same table on the same topic at the same time

 

While innovation has traditionally been used in the context of technology R&D we believe that its definition is broader and affects the very nature of both the Creative and Innovation Economies in Massachusetts.

 

This conference will look at the intersections and define their collective strengths and how they can grow together to benefit Massachusetts. The conference will examine the economic impact of different forms of creativity from traditional R&D to arts and culture, entertainment, publishing, marketing,  software design and more.  For a full definition please click here.
