Welcome to our website
IngeniumCreatives welcomes submissions for Ingenium2023 LAS VEGAS. The panel is open to considering a full range of presentation formats from all disciplines. We seek to feature a curated collection of robust perspectives on this year's topic, "A Culture of Creativity in the Workplace."
What's relevant?
All models, practices, innovations, explorations, and research centered around creativity will be considered relevant. Additionally, fresh, non-traditional presentations will be of interest that prompt an experience of possibility thinking as it relates to how we consider or experience creativity. Your presentation can be either practical or theoretical, or both.
The consideration of "Creative Practice" within corporations and institutions for the purpose of promoting imagination and encouraging freedom of expressing possibility thinking to innovate and solve challenges is relevant and encouraged.
The consideration of "Creative Practice" in and of itself is relevant.
In the ever-changing landscape of the 21st century, we are interested in considering how creativity might be encouraged among the population at large. We welcome submissions from individuals/groups who are entrenched in the scrutiny of the topic (The Culture of Creativity) or from those who are committed to advancing an applied practice of innovative problem-solving in their departments or organizations. We are interested in collectively exploring how to inform policies and protocols in effective and positive ways. We are also interested in considering how to bring these ideas to the workplace, our administrators, and our governments. We invite you to bring your theories, innovations, models, and best practices to the table to collaborate with colleagues worldwide. Share and inspire colleagues around the world. Submit your proposal today!
