Ignite Your Innovation Leadership!  

Innovation Boot Camp is a weeklong, hands-on intensive workshop for anyone who wants to be more creative, influential and impactful—and armed with breakthrough ideas. This leadership training is based on the FIRE framework for innovation developed by Phil McKinney, author, syndicated radio show host and President and CEO of CableLabs. Prior attendees have expressed their “JOY” for the all-virtual format, thanks to its efficiency of time, lack of a travel requirement, focused learning and fun, interactive workshops. 

TOPIC: GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (GenAI)

At this event, we’ll go beyond traditional pattern recognition and predictive forms of AI to explore the various meanings, challenges and opportunities associated with emerging forms of AI. These facets of AI are more collaborative and generate new content in the form of text, images, video, audio, AR/VR environments and more. This next chapter of AI could have a profound impact on cable industry networks and the customers we serve — enhancing and challenging the way we live, work, learn and play. Bring your curiosity, and let’s find out! As a bonus, you’ll learn new collaborative AI ideation methods to open your own channels of creativity.

We’ll host expert speakers and allow small teams to dive deeper to discover breakthrough ideas that can advance cable industry efforts around this topic.
