Agenda
Five days full of inspiration.

The Agenda may change slightly – but only for the better.
Innovation Journeys is an open format and, like many things in this world, a work in progress. As on our previous Innovation Journeys, we remain open to new contributors who might pop up at any moment and turn your journey from useful into unique. Which is why we are constantly going after the greatest minds, the latest visionaries, the truest trailblazers right up to the very last minute of planning – to let each journey go where no journey has gone before. So please note that our agenda is alive and can evolve. However: What you see is always what you get as promised on Jan 24 – any changes will only be made to offer you more! Updates will go out every time a new topic, speaker or businessperson is added to the Agenda, but only to those who have signed up for the Journey, so you might want to do that soon. After all, airfares are only going up!
