Over the past decade, CoDev conferences have been a driving force in leading a cross-industry exchange on the evolution of open innovation practices. Today, open innovation is no longer viewed as an optional business strategy ---companies now recognize the potential value creation an open innovation approach can yield and are committed to evolving company culture, allocating resources and embedding open innovation as a standard operating business process.

CoDev2012 addresses current trends, emerging issues as well as the core fundamentals needed to launch, sustain and profit through open innovation. This highly acclaimed annual forum consistently assembles an extensive network of open innovation practitioners and leading thought leaders in an effort to foster a collaborative open innovation community, exchange lessons learned, and connect with potential partners.
