Overview
Joel Barker has always believed the future is something you create, not something
that happens to you. In this bold, new program, Innovation at the verge, Barker teaches how to create your own future by finding your next innovation. Through stories and examples, you will learn how to combine your ideas with the ideas of others as you meet at the verge.
