IEI 2010: Creativity iNC live on uStream Now

February, 08, 2010 , by David

Today and tomorrow the NC State Institute of Emerging Issues hosts its 2010 conference. Read more here. You can watch online.

Twenty-five years ago, the Emerging Issues Forum began by looking at the topic of innovation. This year, the Forum will come full circle as we attempt to enhance creative thinking and embrace new ideas—the very creativity that is needed for true innovation.

Orr not. Stream has been spotty today and audio and video was out at the time of posting this- right in the middle of Charlie Rose with the Freelon’s -damn that sucks!
