Information

The ISPIM 2012 Conference is now full at 500 delegates and we are no longer taking bookings or waitlisting people. The one exception to this is that there are still a very limited number of places left for delegates from large corporations (not consulting firms) to ensure equal representation from all innovation communities. Enquiries from corporate delegates should be made to the conference secretariat - conference@ispim.org.

The XXIII ISPIM Conference – Action for Innovation: Innovating from Experience – takes place in Barcelona, Spain on 17-20 June 2012. Organised by ISPIM, and hosted by La Salle University in partnership with Orbita97, this conference will bring together around 500 innovation experts from 60+ countries.

The three-day programme will include: Industry-Leading Keynote Speakers; Luminary Speakers; Innovation Thought Leaders; "Hot Topic" Roundtable Discussions; Facilitated Themed Sessions with around 260 Academic and Practitioner Presentations; Workshops; Special Interest Groups; Academic Research Development Sessions.

As with all ISPIM events, delegates will experience a taste of local culture at magnificent dinner venues so there will be plenty of time for networking.

Why Barcelona?


Barcelona's innovation heritage is of the highest pedigree. Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Antonio Gaudi, Juan Antonio Samaranch and Lluis Domènech i Montaner left their mark on the culture, architecture and people of Barcelona.

Today's innovation leaders include Ferran Adria of El Bulli, The 22@ District, Norman Foster, FIRA, FC Barcelona, Desigual, Mango, Yahoo! Research, HP R&D Centre, Las Ramblas, Custo, Barcelona Activa, Fusion for Energy, Barcelona Supercomputing Center (Europe's most powerful computer), Barcelona Digital Foundation, as well as hundreds of festivals, universities, science and innovation parks, entrepreneurs and artists. And then there is the Mediterranean lifestyle, climate and the people themselves.

And these are just some of the reasons to choose Barcelona as our video suggests!
