Innovate Carolina 2013
Bridging the Gap Between Idea Generation and Product Development
 Register today and join over 150 innovators, new product development and product management professionals and executives April 12th at A&T State University in Greensboro, NC.
In many firms, a lot of ideas are generated in innovation programs, suggestion programs and other activities. Yet few ideas are actually converted into new products, processes and business models. There are many reasons why so few ideas make the leap from concept to solution. Join us for an exciting day as we learn about best practices from thought leaders, discuss ideas and network with innovators and product development professionals. Gain insights from product development innovators in the Carolinas from companies including Milliken, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co., and National Gypsum Company.
