• Brainstorming: This workshop given by a creative communication agency introduces a new kind of brainstorming called brain thinking. Brain Thinking is a technique that uses more areas of the brain to boost creativity.
• The idea to Concept: This workshop will likely be given by DesignLab. It introduces a brand-new toolkit for developing your idea to a more expanded concept. It gives the participant some handles to look at their own idea from different angles. It also focuses on working together.
