It was great seeing everyone at our Innovation Conference last week!

Based upon the representative feedback found here, it appears as though we struck a responsive cord with the topic and the program. Additionally, we have received an excellent initial response to The CEN Innovation Results Institute. As I mentioned in Hilton Head, we will be evaluating applications during the remainder of this month and will be getting back with the companies selected in early to mid December. Two forums are scheduled for next year, with the first being scheduled for March 7-10, 2005 and the second Institute will be held March 28-31, 2005.

There also seemed to be a good deal of interest in the CEN Innovation awards for next year's Conference. Accordingly, we are interested in your nominations for outstanding innovation in the areas of Product Innovation, Process Innovation, or Business Model Innovation.

As promised, here is the link to the speaker presentations which were made available to us by the speakers. If you are you are interested in contacting one of the speakers, please let us know and we will be happy to try and facilitate this.

I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting and congratulations for taking time to work on the future of your business!

Best regards,
