One of the big focuses at this year’s Conference is how orchestras are innovating to tackle the challenges of the present and meet the demands of the future. The Conference’s Opening Session, Creating an Environment for Innovation, will reveal the richly varied innovations that orchestras are already using, examine what we can do better, and consider what we can learn from other sectors about committing our organizations to innovation from top to bottom. Our charismatic keynote speakers—Larry Wendling, Ph.D, vice president at 3M’s Corporate Research Laboratory; Katie Wyatt, executive director of KidzNotes; Deborah Borda, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Philharmonic—will look at this all-important topic through three unique lenses … and change the way your orchestra approaches innovation.
