Conference Sessions
Each session will include a group of four presenters, each of whom will speak individually about their current work, their challenges, their intellectual passion of the moment. Artists on the stage with economists, physicians with technologists, each session will include speakers united by their cutting edge thinking rather than their field of endeavor.

Conversation Breaks
At IDEAS Boston 2004, the breaks are an integral part of the experience. Take time to network with colleagues and presenters, share ideas, discuss implications of the presentations heard. Most of our presenters will be participating in the conference as well, giving attendees a unique opportunity to engage in discussions beyond traditional Q & A sessions. Guest artists will provide an additional source of entertainment and inspiration.

Evening Events
The ideas don’t stop. The Monday evening celebration will be at the beautiful new Genzyme headquarters in Cambridge, at the forefront of the “green” building movement. Invite a guest, continue your conversations, and enjoy a special appearance by the dance company Pilobolus. Tuesday evening will be a special closing reception on the 31st floor of the Federal Reserve Bank, featuring spectacular views and the Boston Latin Project jazz band.

Continental breakfast, lunches, and attendance at the special events are included in the registration price. Registrants are also invited to bring a guest to the Monday night celebration.
