Brainstorm Brewing in Boston with the Creative Problem Solving Institute

The Creative Problem Solving Institute comes storming in on June 21st
AMHERST, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Imagine going to a conference that was created by the inventor of Brainstorming
-- Alex Osborn. Or to a meeting where Thomas Edison`s great grandniece Sarah
Miller Caldicott, will present what she uncovered when writing her book,
"Innovate like Edison". Or even learning about Design Thinking from Continuum, a
Boston firm that has created product, service and organizational innovations
around the world. "Boston is the perfect place for our conference, the
Revolution of Creativity. There are few other locations where innovation has
been the driver of breakthrough thinking," says Victoria Cliche, CEO of The
Creative Education Foundation, which runs the annual event. "Those who push
their ideas beyond what is expected will be standing longer and taller as we
move forward in this economy."

Those who embrace innovation are already innovative and want to do more, are in
crisis mode and don`t have a choice, or have recently had a change of management
and innovation is an imperative. A full schedule of workshops and keynote
presentations around the themes of innovation and creativity will inspire
participants and provide them with the tools to push their thinking and actions
in today`s world and create opportunities for the future.

Hundreds of creativity experts from around the US and from over 25 countries
will make their way to Boston to lead and attend short or multiday interactive
workshops with titles such as: Springboard to Creative Problem Solving, The Art
of Innovation, and Organizational Leadership for Innovation in a Tough Economy.

People tend to choose conferences where they meet those in our own industries.
Those who attend the Creative Problem Solving Institute are professionally as
diverse as the problems we need to solve day-to-day. Attendees are corporate
executives, entrepreneurs, educators, academics, consultants, advertising
professionals, nonprofit leaders and even some motivated teenagers. This
diversity allows participants to understand that solving problems the same way,
every day, only gives us the same solutions that led us to where we are today.

Michael Wedman, Associate Director of KPMG suggests that, "you leave the
conference so energized that you can't wait to share the experience with others.
I've been doing that for 8 months now." According to attendee Kathy McCurry,
Director of New Product Development at Classy Rider, "the Creative Problem
Solving Institute is by far the best value I've ever gotten out of a
'conference', since it is so participatory and the wealth of learning is
intangible, but highly useful."

Institute and headquartered in Amherst, MA, is the Centre for Applied

themselves as they confront real-world challenges. Every day principles taught
by CEF are helping someone, somewhere in the world develop new products, advance
