DESCRIPTION:The word 'innovation' is everywhere. It refers to everything fr
 om technology to services to economic growth - but is innovation just abou
 t goods and services\, or does it depend on who we are? To highlight the s
 ocial context of innovation\, you are invited to attend this interdiscipli
 nary workshop on November 19\, 2016. Click here to register>>\n\nPanels ov
 er the course of the day will examine how innovation is as much a social p
 henomenon as a technological one. The bias towards technology ignores the 
 reality that many of the most significant innovators are either not relate
 d to technology or are only peripherally so. Great technologies that do no
 t meet social needs will fail\; important social changes can have substant
 ial impact even without technologies.\n\nThis workshop is designed to expl
 ore what conditions in society lead people not only to create\, but to tur
 n those creations into innovation. Idea-drive goods and services pose new 
 challenges for growing societies. As they disrupt conventional economic\, 
 political\, and social structures\, they create tremendous uncertainty.  H
 ow can countries maximize the benefits of innovation? How should society a
 dapt technology to its needs? How do innovations transform us and our soci
 al interactions? In all these questions\, we cannot forget the importance 
 of the social to the success or failure of innovation and the relationship
  between people and their innovations.\n\nConvened by CIGI\, hosted by the
  Centre for Intellectual Property Policy (CIPP) in association with McGill
  University's Innovation Week\, 51³Ô¹ÏÍøOffice of Innovation.\n\nThis event
  is open to students\, entrepreneurs\, policy-makers\, and community leade
 rs.\n\nTimeline:\n\n8:30am - 9:00am: Registration\n	9:00am - 9:15am: Introd
