Creative Innovation 2019 (Ci2019)

Watch Claire Pennicard’s Ci2010 presentation!

Thursday, 31 March 2011

Claire Pennicard is a pig farmer. You might think that she ended up in this career because it was a family business, or because of location, or any number of other reasons.

But the truth is, Claire is a pig farmer because she chose to be a pig farmer.

A series of careful calculations and meticulous research led her to this career, and to wide acclaim and recognition for her outstanding innovation and entrepreneurship.

This fascinating presentation follows Claire’s journey from her first beautiful sprawling cattle farm in the 1980s to the two 250m long pig farms she owns today. Two 250m long pig farms that produce $9million worth of pork per year.

By thinking outside the square Claire has reached the best kind of success – one that is financially sustainable, environmentally friendly and animal-welfare responsible.

Watch this video to hear how Claire ethically and innovatively achieved her goals.

"Without a doubt the best conference in Australia with a delightful mix of creativity and big thinking bringing together an eclectic group of industry, community and education leaders. Once again, I’ve come away enthused by new ideas, more aware of future trends, and heartened by the kindness of humanity. We all have a role to play and it should be a collective one." Kerry Anderson, Founder of Operation Next Gen

"Conferences are boring. Creative Innovation is more like a rodeo for ideas, and you are guaranteed to leave wanting to make the world better for everyone." Andrew Despi, A.kin

"Kudos to Tania for organising the the 2019 CI Conference in Melbourne - it is the best I have attended so far. All the speakers and sessions were very well-planned. I have attended many conferences and this is the first I did not have the 'luxury' to skip any sessions. Your effort in this space has truly made Melbourne a global innovation and entrepreneurship hub." Danny Ong, Deakin University

"I wanted to pass along how incredible I thought Creative Innovation was and how much your passion for life and for humanity was inspiring to all of us. It was a privilege to be included and one that I am very grateful for." John Pickering, Chief Behavioural Scientist

"Creative Innovation is a transformational platform built by changemakers for changemakers. It is an educational adventure showcasing the forefront of ideas internationally." Melissa Warner, Ci2019 Scholarship Winner & Education Officer, Mind Medicine Australia

"Creative Innovation 2019 was one of the most well-organised events I’ve ever taken part in. From beginning to the end, every detail had been planned through and taken care of. Secondly, are the production values. As a result, it was possible to attend all the sessions without suffering conference burn-out, happy in the knowledge that the next piece of content was guaranteed to delight and challenge the senses." Richard Claydon (Singapore)

"Well done on another successful Ci conference. Your energy, passion and sheer determination to ensure the conference delegates get a fantastic experience is admirable." VP People & Global Capability | P&GC, Woodside Energy
