"Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them."

- Albert Einstein

Creativity is a motor. It can take you places that others haven't yet found, and it can get you there faster, smarter and more effectively.

But there's a synonym for creativity: Courage. And Food for Thought is a conference designed to spotlight those who've demonstrated courageous creativity (yeah, yeah, redundant) and who've achieved great success because of it.

Beyond that, at Food for Thought we'll analyze and discuss how creative vision, perceptions and actions are changing important industries and institutions.

From the way we look at automobiles to the way we think about televisions to the way we buy corned beef, nothing is as it was. We don't buy the way we used to thanks to those of us smart enough to change the way we sell. And Food for Thought is ready to explore and explain the role creativity plays in all of this.

Oh, and the food will be extra special throughout the conference. We've creatively figured out a way to eliminate any semblance of rubber chicken.

Seminars and presentations will be held at various sites in and around Greenville, S.C., recently acclaimed as one of America's most livable and dynamic cities. The area is home to many of the most well-known companies in the world, including Michelin, Milliken & Co., ScanSource, Hubble Lighting and BMW.

Join other senior-level managers, marketers and entrepreneurial types who seek inspiration and insight from those who went out on the ledge and made it work.

Food for Thought is for change-agents, for those who have the capacity to shake the tree and help their organization view the world in entirely new and beneficial ways.
