Upcoming keynotes on boosting innovation & resilience; digital brain health

by

Quick heads-up: I’ll be deliv­er­ing two keynote talks next week, one to senior HR exec­u­tives, one to dig­i­tal health pio­neers. Since the first chap­ter of our new book is titled “START WITH THE BRAIN IN MIND,” we’re glad to see the grow­ing inter­est in applied brain & cog­ni­tive sci­ence from a vari­ety of perspectives!

Conference Board of CanadaKeynote: How Can We Invest in Our Brains to Boost Inno­va­tion and Resilience?

Hear from a lead­ing expert about the impor­tance of brain health on inno­va­tion, resilience and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. Our keynote speak­er will share the lat­est research on brain func­tion­ing and applied neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty. What is the link between brain health, the capac­i­ty to inno­vate and to thrive in today’s work­place? What are the lim­its of the human brain? Can we train our brain to be more cre­ative? What can we do in orga­ni­za­tions to invest in our most pre­cious human resource –our amaz­ing brain– and boost inno­va­tion and resilience?

digital health summitKeynote: I’ll Take Brain Health for $6 Billion

Brain health is a rapid­ly grow­ing mar­ket and all dig­i­tal health com­pa­nies should be aware of the far-reach­ing impact this seg­ment will have on the entire indus­try. Alvaro Fer­nan­dez, the CEO of the lead­ing inde­pen­dent mar­ket research firm track­ing health and well­ness appli­ca­tions of brain sci­ence, will reveal a brand new mar­ket study and fore­cast on the dig­i­tal brain health mar­ket for 2012–2020.

This mar­ket has expand­ed from what used to be only “brain fit­ness” to include web-based, mobile and bio­met­rics-based tech­nol­o­gy to assess, mon­i­tor and enhance cog­ni­tion and brain func­tion­ing. You will gain insights into the indus­tries’ Ten Com­pa­nies to Watch and actu­al fore­cast­ing areas of unpar­al­leled growth for the whole industry.
