Scott Berkun’s keynote address will romp through the history of innovation, dispelling many of the mythologies we’ve constructed. Loosely based on his recently released book The Myths of Innovation (O’Reilly), Scott’s talk will help you to recognize these myths and understand why they’re popular–even if you don’t believe in them–while teaching you how to use the truth to become an effective innovator today.
