David’s NEW 2017 Keynote: Oppositioning: One Surprising Strategy for Innovation and Differentiation
What can tiny houses, Spartan races, knuckleball pitchers, armless archers, Snapchat, unibrows, and Minecraft teach us about innovation and differentiation? We all know that innovation and differentiation are essential for success in our careers and our companies. But developing and implementing truly unique ideas and practices seems very difficult, and most people and organizations fail in their efforts to be more creative and distinctive. The solution to this problem is surprisingly simple. Once you learn this singular method for finding unconventional ideas, you’ll dramatically improve your ability to stand out and you’ll have an endless supply of original breakthroughs. You’ll go from unconventional to unforgettable to unstoppable.
GREENVILLE CONVENTION CENTER
Boasting over 91,000 sq. ft. of flexible event space, the Greenville Convention Center Campus represents the largest partnership of meeting and exhibit facilities in eastern North Carolina and the largest convention center east of I-95. Three AAA-rated 3-Diamond hotels with over 400 guest rooms surround the main convention center complex on a sprawling 32-acre campus.
The Convention Center Campus features 36 newly-renovated breakout rooms for small to mid-size groups. An extensive 4.5-million dollar renovation has completely updated our decor, added a gorgeous indoor/outdoor ballroom area perfect for event mixers or large weddings, and added a number of smaller meeting spaces and breakout rooms to help accommodate events and gatherings of any size and scope.
