X PRIZE Foundation's incentive2innovate Conference

We were tapped by the X PRIZE Foundation to help direct the program content for the 2009 incentive2innovate (i2i) conference.

The conference took place in June 2009 at the United Nations and provided an opportunity for around 300 C-Level executives learn from and interact with some of the leading innovators in government, business and philanthropy. Hosted by the X PRIZE Foundation, they were presented with case studies and insights on how to use two powerful but under-utilized innovation tools: Open Collaboration and Incentivized Competition. Attendees were also able to participate directly with speakers in this unique conference through the Q&A sessions as well as in the breakout discussions lead by the panelists.

Content Development

The X PRIZE Foundation partnered with us to help produce the content for i2i, ensuring that the high-level participants got value out of every session and that the overall conference achieved the objectives set forth by the X PRIZE and the conference sponsors.  Our team worked with each panelist, moderator, and speaker to direct the content of every session. In order to make this possible, we worked closely The X PRIZE Foundation and their sponsors to design an agenda that made the most out of the invited experts, while allowing maximum opportunities for participation with and among participants.

Connecting Content to Event Production

We worked closely with Linder & Associates—the event management company—and X PRIZE Foundation event managers and creative producers to align the content and desired outcomes with the necessary logistics and production elements. During the event, the our team supported the X PRIZE Foundation by preparing remarks for all Foundation speakers, conducting on-site briefings for all panelists and moderators, managing stage choreography, and producing and managing on-screen graphics content.
