Bill Stainton

Connecting the Dots: How to find Ideas that Matter

Emmy award innovator Bill Stainton will
launch the summit by showing us how to uncover game-changing ideas…simply by making unexpected connections—between challenges, trends, observations, and overlooked opportunities. You and your team will leave knowing how to tap into your creative problem-solving skills – and spot the patterns, possibilities and ideas that others miss.

From Silos To Systems: Connecting The Dots to Local & Provincial Prosperity

Municipal administrators and elected officials, Indigenous governments, economic developers, recreation and community builders, innovation networks, funders, and private-sector partners each play a critical role in the strategies required to grow local and provincial economic, social, cultural, and environmental well being and prosperity.
