The Advertising Club of Toledo will host the Creativity and Innovation Summit on Wednesday November 6, 2013, from 7:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg. The summit will feature 10 speakers giving short, TED-type speeches outlining how their unique product or idea was born and how it led to progressive change and growth.

“We are excited for the community to see the great things happening in our area,” says Karen Hopkinson, president of The Advertising Club of Toledo. “It is our hope that other businesses will be inspired by these ideas and adapt them for their own uses.”

Nine of the speakers will compete for the Creativity and Innovation Award. Judges from the business community will determine the winner based on the following criteria:

• The quality of the product, message or initiative
• The effect of the product, message or initiative on society presently or in the past
• How well the product, message or initiative has economically benefited the Toledo region

Judging will take place in October, with the winner announced at the summit. The nine competitors are:

• Michael Seay of SensoryMax
• Dr. Gene Poor of LifeFormations/LF Creative Group
• Randy Boudouris of MAGNETNotes Ltd.
• Dan Sauder of Sauder Woodworking
• Aaron Harwell of TwineIt
• Michael Manon of hoopla
• Lori Jacobs of Cake in a Cup
• Mike Osswald of Hanson, Inc.
• Jeff Schaaf of Northwest Ohio Brand Council

Also speaking at the event will be John Crisp, vice president of new media for The Blade. He is not eligible for the competition since The Blade is a sponsor of the summit.

A continental breakfast will be served at the event. The event is open to the public. Those wishing to attend may register for the summit by visitingadclubtoledo.org/summit before October 30. Tickets are $49 for Advertising Club members, $59 for non-members, and $29 for students.
