The Field Study is not a conference. There are no keynotes. There is no PowerPoint. There is no tradeshow, and vendors are not invited.
The Field Study is a chance to get together with a small group of your peers — the executives doing innovation at large corporations — to hear their approaches, discuss your challenges, visit corporate innovation labs, meet disruptive startups, and network in a safe environment.
(Sorry, service providers and consultants: We love you, but we are only allowing innovation executives to register for this event.)
Our two objectives:
1. Make the Field Study the most useful and participatory forum you’ve ever attended; and
2. Connect you to peers who are dealing with similar challenges, so they can learn from you, and you can learn from them.
