You don’t have to be VP of the company to turn out great ideas, nor do you even have to be a college graduate (ie Facebook!) you just need to know how to sell your idea to the people who matter. This panel sounds inspiring and even provides an opportunity for attendees to pitch thier ideas for a chance to win a $100 gift card.

This panel offers new ways of thinking to make sure that your brands, or the ones you represent, will not become another Blockbuster, or Kodak.
