- Customer Testimonials -

If you have "innovation" or "open innovation" in your job title or in your job description you need to be at CoDev. It doesn't matter if you are an expert or a beginner, this conference is very relevant.
(Sean Warren, Pure Insight)

If you are new to Open Innovation, or if it is happening on an ad hoc basis in your organization, this conference helps you organize thoughts and provide structure to bank on power of Open Innovation.
(Manish Shah, National Starch & Chemical)

My expectations are generally quite low for such conferences, but this one far exceeded them. Many of the presenters are highly educated and accomplished and effectively share their knowledge.
(Jonathan Miner, Bissell Homecare Inc.)

Very worthy conference to attend, great opportunity to meet with real people who practice Open Innovation and a chance to share personal experience.
(Ravi Mulukutla, Meadwestvaco Corporation)

It’s rare to find a balance of academic, applied and practical insight in one location, and MRT and PDMA has created an outstanding opportunity for peer-to-peer networking. Highly recommended!
(Randy Iliff, Bit7)

Great sharing of ideas and concepts by all participants. Real-time, immediate value. Very, very impressed with consistent high quality of speakers – that’s rare at this type of conference.
(Craig Rethwell, The Kellogg Company )

I was encouraged to see and hear a broad spectrum of interest on innovation as well as examples and guidance.
(Jack Ring, Cyon Research )

I came into the Congress with a little knowledge of CoDev and Open Innovation. I am coming out with a lot of questions…and that is exactly what I needed to understand. Open innovation is about asking the right questions, finding the right partners and staying alert in continuing to ask those questions keeping the end goal in mind.
(Marie-Claude Cote, Centre du Recherche)

I came away with some very valuable thought nuggets on approaching IP in a co-development environment! I look forward to my next opportunity to put some of these ideas into action.
(David Maltz, Nektar Therapeutics)

Very buttoned down. Runs like clockwork.
(Brian Matt, Altitude Inc.)

The conference delivered on what it promised: what seemed like issues in collaborative development were merely challenges.
(Morne Barradas, Sasol Technology)

Well worth my time. Next time, I am bringing engineering directors --alliances all too often perceived as the business person's problem.
(Kathy Miller, Hewlett-Packard)

A lot of great examples and models for reapplication. Great source of contacts for benchmarking. I feel confident we know where we need to start and have knowledge of how to get there.
(Michele Cerminaro, GOJO Industries)

Excellent Networking Opportunity. Very Helpful content. I feel a sense of focus to go back and implement some of the best practices that have been shared. I will certainly recommend this conference to others within my company.
(Jennifer Duggan, Nestle)
