Visioneering 2011!

Hey All!

The weekend of April 16-17 was a great weekend for the X PRIZE Foundation. We had our annual Visioneering event, where we hosted more than 100 CEO's, philanthropists, and heads of innovation. The event took place at FOX Studios, in Century City, Los Angeles, and was an overall success. The weekend focused on identifying the world's biggest problems, which can potentially be solved through incentivized competitions. More than 50 prize concepts were generated, debated, and then narrowed down to the top eight, which will guide our work for the next year!

Wendy Schmidt spoke at the reception about the Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE, where we are now in the competition, and her passion for cleaning up the Gulf.

Take a look!
