Deviating from my usual Point > Story > Action format of the blog, I will be live-blogging the World Innovation Forum May 5-6, 2009 in New York City. The line-up of speakers and innovation case studies is stellar:

• Clayton Christensen on Disruptive Innovation
• Vijay Govindarajan on Innovation in a Global World
• Fred Krupp on Eco-Innovation
• Dan Ariely on Predictably Irrational
• CK Prahalad on The New Age of Innovation
• Paul Saffo on Untangling the Future
• Innovation Case Studies from GlaxoSmithKline, Camp BizSmart (moderated by Cisco CTO Padmasree Warrior), 23andMe, the T5 Experience and The Drummer.

I’ll be in located in the Featured Bloggers Hub along with colleagues who will also be covering the event live. In addition to blogging, we will be live-tweeting as well. I’m @AndreaMeyer, and we’ll be using the hashtag #WIF09, which means you can follow all the live tweets by doing a search for WIF09 on Twitter.
