JIP West Midlands has joined with Innovation Exchange – a consultancy supporting innovation in the third sector - to stage Innovation for Personalisation: A Festival of Ideas, on 26 November 2009.
The one day event puts third sector organisations running innovative adult social care projects in touch with commissioners and investors looking to buy or develop personalised services.
The festival takes place in The Orange Studio, 7 Cannon Street, Birmingham, B2 5EP, from 9.30am-4.00pm. Look out for your invitation which will be sent to all adult social care departments in the region.
The event will be attended by senior figures from the public sector across the West Midlands, as well as leading innovators and investors.
Expert advice will be given on how to cultivate fledgling projects and ideas.
Innovators and investors will:
· Hear about the most advanced and effective existing provision
· Make contact with people behind the best new ideas and projects in the third sector
· Help shape the work of innovators to deliver effective and appropriate care services
· Have the opportunity to consider collaborating with existing or new innovations
· Find ways to meet the requirements of Putting People First by supporting projects
Eric Robinson, JIP Lead on Personalisation, ADASS and Corporate Director of Social Care and Health in Staffordshire County Council says:
“We need to work together with passion and commitment to help everyone lead fulfilling, independent lives.
This is an important event for the JIP in helping us to find high potential innovation projects that are making personalisation a reality.”
Key themes for the day include:
· Support brokerage and advocacy
· Advice, information and guidance
· Potential of user led and community led approaches
· Safeguarding and risk management
· Potential of new technology
Director of Innovation Exchange John Craig says: “This event brings all the relevant people together in one place. It can take months to find the right person to pitch your ideas to. Likewise commissioners in the public sector know there are lots of fantastic projects out there but don’t have the time to find them.”

Innovation Exchange would like to hear of any fledgling proposals or innovation projects in advance of the event. People with the best ideas will receive a festival invitation. Click here for details.
