Each year Creative Innovation offers 10 places to the Creative Innovation conference to emerging leaders from any sector.

“Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. And I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the moral conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the globe.”

Eulogy of Bobby Kennedy. For more of the eulogy click here.

We are searching for the most outstanding emerging leaders and innovators from across Australia who exhibit strong moral courage, that are game-changers and are creating and implementing ideas that are making a difference. Leaders that may at times feel afraid or uncertain yet still rise to confront the needs and challenges of society head on.

These scholarships are provided to innovation leaders of the future to prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow. Included is a full place for the entire Ci2011 event, an opportunity to present your vision for the future in the conference program and on the website and a 60 second speaking spot during the main conference program.
