Innovation 2010 will be held in Melbourne on 10 & 11th March 2010. More than just a conference, it includes a wide spectrum of activities on either side of its main days that bring innovators to Victoria from all parts of Australia and from overseas.

Earlier this year, over 200 people participated in Innovation 2009 which was held at Sydneys Maritime Museum. Now in its 7th year, Innovation 2010 is the largest event hosted by the Hargraves Institute. Whilst still in the planning stage, presenters topics will align with the overall theme, "Delivering the Future" fostering leadership management skills and real take-out value.

Day 1 will be an information based plenary session with a wide range of local and international presenters who will share their expertise with both member and non-member delegates.

Later that day this session will be followed by the Hargraves Gala Dinner which will offer an excellent opportunity to network with peers. It will also see the launch of the inaugural Lawrence Hargrave Awards for Innovation where innovation partnering excellence will be publicly recognised for the first time. The awards will be judged by a panel drawn from academia, government and business.

Day 2 will be for thought leaders and will be specially designed to equip participants with new insights, experiences, practical tools and ideas in order for them to confidently capture the global recovery wave. Stream topics are:
