Our events are different from the traditional (boring) conference where you fall asleep half-way the morning.

You won't be locked up in a windowless ballroom for four full days listening to long lectures.

We can't talk about innovation in a traditional, comfortable setting, right? We want you to experience innovation in action. And for sure, there's a lot to explore in Los Angeles.

Below you'll find the 10 field trips now confirmed to the agenda (Friday morning June 22nd).

The only problem? You'll have to pick one of them. So why don't you bring your team for more learnings and more fun?
