Managing and Measuring Technological Innovation
How do firms measure innovation?  What are the metrics?  How do we track goals, successes and failures?  What are the best practices?  This industry partner conference examines a critical dimension of innovation of value to firms in all industries.

11th Annual Emerging Technologies Update Day This is our most popular annual event, where we invite technology champions to provide an update on radical innovations on the near horizon.  This year's theme will be "Innovations in Biomedicine."  Michael Tomczyk and Terry Fadem are co-organizers.
