“We dare ourselves to thing beyond what’s possible. To defy imagination. And to do things that have never been done.” ~Bob Weis, President of Walt Disney Imagineering.
For one hour, we will each be FloridaACE Imagineers! Just as Walt Disney Imagineering is the creative force behind the memorable Disney experiences that connect and inspire – we will collaboratively be the creative force to imagine what could be, thus crowdsourcing innovation. Participants will be randomly placed in a Zoom breakout room with a discussion moderator to innovate, re-imagine, and ideate regarding a topic. Each breakout group will then report back to the main group their innovative idea. Together we will imaginer experiences that connect and inspire our stakeholders!
