Keynote: Creativity as Strategy - Duncan Wardle, Former Head of Innovation and Creativity for The Walt Disney Company, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel, and Disney Parks

Session details:

In a world being reshaped by artificial intelligence, creativity is the one competitive advantage that can't be automated. The problem? Most of us were told somewhere along the way that we're not the creative type — and we believed it. Duncan Wardle spent 25 years at the Walt Disney Company, most recently as Head of Innovation & Creativity, proving that wrong. Drawing on his Innovation Toolkit, he shows hotel leaders how to unlock the creative thinking already inside them — and use it to solve real problems, drive results, and build a culture where innovation is everyone's job.
