How many times have you been told to "Think outside the box"? What if the trick to innovation is really thinking INSIDE the box? Drew Boyd is the co-author of
Inside the Box, one of Jeff Kinney's favorite books: "A book that will upend your thoughts about innovation and problem-solving. The writers' approach has had an enormous impact on my life and career, and I employ the strategies in this book to tackle problems large and small. A must for anyone working in a business where innovation is valued." Drew will discuss the concepts in his book, and challenge you to think in new ways in his interactive presentation.

Leo recommends:
A ferocious, atmospheric novel that reads like an adult folktale about a young girl named Alys and the ethereal, mysterious twin sister "soul-eaters" that she encounters and is drawn to throughout her life.
