The Ideas To Go Difference

Everyone's expected to be innovative. There's a long list of speakers who are happy to tell you how, with plenty of examples of how it's been done before. But when it comes to tangible innovation education, the list falls short. That's where we come in.

Who are we? We're expert innovators, facilitators, speakers, and teachers. Since 1979, we've been helping clients in Fortune 500 companies—including 1/3 of the Fortune 100 list—navigate the nebulous world of innovation. We've developed and refined the creative process that makes risky, uncomfortable and unconventional ideas possible. 

If you're looking for an expert speaker for a keynote, event, or conference, Ideas To Go is here to help. And if you're looking for something more interactive, like a training or workshop, we can do that too.
