The spoken program each year features a combination of speakers and performers. This year, each speaker will explore “Breakthrough,” which is the 2011 conference theme, in their respective fields. Some will share breakthrough thinking and methodologies, and others, breakthrough research and inventions. Many of the talks will be informative, thought-provoking and surprising. A few may even challenge well-regarded beliefs.
