Short Report about NIC/TRIZCON2010 by Richard Langevin, Executive Director, Altshuller Inst., Oct. 15, 2010, News Letter of AI.) (Dec. 30, 2010)

TRIZCON2010 was held in consonance with the National Innovation Conference outside of Dayton, Ohio on 7-8 October 2010. I wish to report that this combined conference successfully promote TRIZ to a broad audience. In addition to our loyal TRIZ attendees, we had people from the US Air Force, PDMA, Wright Brothers Institute and a host of smaller organizations that comprised the 90+ attendees.

The 2 day event had 3 tracks. One track had a diversity of speakers on innovation. The two other tracks were our traditional TRIZ tracks of Tutorials and Symposium. All tracks had good and balanced attendance. This was the first time we have conducted this abbreviated 2 day format. It was powerful and challenging. We will be evaluating the feedback and using this information to build a more effective and informative conference in the future.

I wish to publicly thank all who help to administer the Conference and those who worked hard to bring attendees to this event as well as to event supporters like Invention Machine, Innocentive, Zenovate and Technical Innovation Center.
