The Executive Brainstorm uses a unique interactive format called ‘Mindshare’. The event is held over 2 days, per the agenda overview below, with 3 parallel events on day two. Each section within each event (eg. ‘The Market 2.0’ on Day One) lasts about 2 hours and involves short stimulus presentations (new research, case studies, use cases), brainstorming in small groups, expert panel review and voting on key issues. Our expert facilitators are supported by interactive technology to enable a uniquely productive debate. More info: contact@stlpartners.com.
