Cue the drumroll...As an Annual Meeting Updates subscriber, you are the first to receive our latest plenary speaker reveal!

SPN is pleased to announce the founders of Genius/Steals ([link removed]) , Faris and Rosie Yakob, will headline our Tuesday morning plenary session ([link removed]) , Scenius & The Myth of the Lone Genius. Join us on August 31 to learn how the power of collaboration can transform your work.

In our society, there’s a prevailing tendency to credit individuals for innovation and progress. But here’s the truth: Lone genius is a myth. Innovation comes from collaboration, not individuals.

In their session, these bestselling authors will address why the lone genius myth persists and outline the conditions that make innovation possible. Together we’ll learn how we can incentivize more innovation in the workplace and on larger cultural levels.

Don't miss this opportunity to take your organization’s approach and results to the next level!
