It takes unrelenting creativity to keep a show fresh and relevant this long, not to mention a good measure of business savvy. In his practical yet wonderfully humorous presentation, Joel Cohen provides vibrant stories and key lessons to the show s creative process, group dynamics and culture of innovation. Cohen draws links between running a business and keeping a hit show fresh. How do you manage group dynamics to get the best from your talent? How do you find, evaluate, implement, and even discard new ideas? How do you chart a renewable path to innovation? He is a comedy writer, so you know he s not going to be boring. At a time when our energy efficiency industry desperately seeks new program ideas and business models, this story of continuous creativity and staying on top will challenge and inspire you! 9:30 10:15 AM Networking Refreshment Break - Expo Hall 1 1A: Commercial Electrification 1B: Innovative Marketing Rapid Fire 1C: Pay for Performance 10:15 11:30 AM Planning for Strategic Electrification: What does the promised land of information look like?
