Wow! What an incredible day yesterday at our third annual State of Innovation Forum. This year was bigger and better than ever. From the premiere screening of "Boston 2024: The Innovation Games", a video exploring the 2024 Olympic bid and its potential impact on our city, to a packed lineup of keynotes speakers, panelists and instructors covering topics such as angel investing, analytics, social media and scaling company culture--we covered a lot of ground in one afternoon.
