Can anyone be a Genius? Creativity Gurus Show How at Corporate Travel Conference

Two internationally acclaimed creativity gurus will show that anyone can become a genius by increasing his or her creativity. They will be speaking at CTW (Corporate Travel World) Asia-Pacific, a conference on Travel & Entertainment (T&E) management for the Asia-Pacific region, which will be held for the first time in Thailand.

Kicking off the “Success Through Creativity and Innovation” conference on 12 October is Randall Munson, president and founder of Creatively Speaking.

“In this world of accelerating change, people in every industry must become increasingly creative in order to be successful,” says Munson.

Munson is one of “The World’s Greatest Business Mentors’, an honour bestowed on only 55 out of over 2,000 professionals internationally. Awarded by Mission publishing of Palo Alto in California, the accolade identifies Munson as an innovative expert whose skills, experience and record of success qualify him as an unsurpassed resource and mentor for others.

Munson has spoken at events of Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and associations including IBM, Disney and the White House across six continents.

According to Dr. Andrei Aleinikov (affectionately called Dr. Andy), founding president of the International Academy of Genius, it is never too late to think out of the box as everyone is a potential genius.

Dr. Andy will unleash the genius within conference delegates to get them to think creatively, to solve problems and increase their self-esteem at two workshops on 13 October 2004.

An author of motivational book MegaCreativity: 5 Steps to Thinking Like a Genius, as well as an educator, scientist and speaker at the forefront of creative thinking, he has built theories and scientific methodologies to prove that anyone can be a genius.

Dr. Andy also holds a Guinness World Record for having written and published the fastest book entitled “Making the Impossible Possible” (it was written in 15 hours 46 minutes at the 7th International Creativity Conference in South Africa in 2001).

The “Success Through Creativity and Innovation” conference is organised as part of the 12th IT&CMA (Incentive Travel & Conventions, Meetings Asia) and 7th CTW (Corporate Travel World) Asia-Pacific shows. More than 2,000 delegates from 37 countries from the MICE and corporate travel industries are expected to attend the shows.

Co-located for the first time in Thailand and dubbed the ‘Doublebill’ (two shows in one location), IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific are scheduled on 12-14 October 2004 at the IMPACT Convention Center. Open to trade visitors, the exhibition will be held in Bangkok before it moves to Pattaya in 2005 and 2006.
