Reinventing the Concept of Mentoring Innovation Project Style with Russell Simmons – March 19 & 20, 2014

Russell Simmons will be back at Innovation Project 2014 but with a new twist with a spotlight on international companies trying to claim their stake in the U.S. payments and commerce markets.

Our international innovators have a just few minutes to give Simmons an overview of what they are doing – in a way that is entertaining, interesting and also informative. That’s when Simmons will take over, giving feedback in real-time on what they’ve just seen and heard.

Simmons is known for his direct and authentic advice, and for making those who take his advice, successful. So, we can’t imagine a more interesting entrepreneur to provide feedback blending his street smarts and book smarts specifically around igniting innovation in payments, can you?

To kick it up a notch or two, we’re also adding a little competitive flair into the session. After all of the presentations and discussions, Simmons will pick his favorite who’ll win a prize. What prize? Well, you’ll have to just be there to find out now, won’t you?

To get your company involved in the discussion, please contact Lauren Laino at llaino@pymnts.com or Pam Bittner at pbittner@pymnts.com for more details.
