Inspiring outside the Box This is the story of how the nationally acclaimed Malvern Festival of Innovation grew over ten years from a small two-day business event to a week-long celebration of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, entrepreneurship and design with sessions aimed at school students, families, business professionals and the general public. What's it like trying to organise a complex community event, secure sponsorship, and raise awareness with edgy marketing campaigns? How does serendipity and opportunism play an important part? A behind the scenes look at the highlights, frustrations and experiences along the way!
