First Annual International Creativity Collaborative Creativity and Innovation in an Interdisciplinary and Multicultural World Thursday evening, October 16, 2014 through Saturday evening, October 18, 2014 The First Annual International Creativity Collaborative (ICC) will be convened in Athens, GA this fall. As a state of the art conference, the ICC will facilitate the creation of a global network of creativity researchers with the goal of fostering connections in creativity research and applications on an international scale. Specifically, the ICC conference will forge new relationships and cultivate communication among creativity researchers, faculty, students, and practitioners in the field. In turn, we hope the establishment of this global network of research and practice will promote the importance of creativity research in fostering creative people as citizens of an innovative society.
