Say Hi Columbus! is a celebration of human ingenuity: Clever, inventive and original thinking. Part of the Say Hi to the Future platform, Say Hi Columbus! is a day-long conference that celebrates the human side of human ingenuity, bringing together curious individuals from various walks of life to learn about clever, inventive, and original ideas. Say Hi to the Future is a platform imagined by Spyder Works Inc., a leading business consultancy for mid-market organizations and intrapreneurs, globally. With an eye toward the future, Say Hi's mandate is to explore how non-conventional thinkers are taking on our most pressing contemporary challenges. What is Human Ingenuity, you ask? Human ingenuity is the way in which human thought and action influences how we think, work, and play. It has a role in how we relate to each other, how we find solutions to problems, how we rationalize thought, and how we transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Human ingenuity is part of an ongoing process of invention and innovation that can be found throughout time, in all corners of the globe. It offers us a space at the intersections of business, government, communication, technology, art and culture to come together and learn how to solve big and complex problems. Who should attend? It’s not about the title that you carry, but the savage curiosity that drives you. Regardless of your field, education or role, Say Hi to the Future will provide you insights on thinking, engaging and commercializing ideas that will move your organization forward and you upward!
