We like to think differently about business travel. This year introduces the second in our series of ground breaking initiatives.

Learn about the Innovators

Building on the events held in 2007, this year we are bringing together three of the world's leading creative thinkers to create unique innovations for our hotels. These innovations will vary greatly but will all have one thing in common - to inspire your Crowne Plaza stay.

Our eclectic mix of innovators have a single commonality - an unwavering desire to see their respective fields from a different perspective and apply these learnings to offer a fresh approach.

The first of our innovators is California based inventor, Roger von Oech. Roger believes that meetings shouldn’t be dead time, they should be alive with ideas.

As part of our initiative, specially selected Crowne Plaza meeting rooms now come equipped with an exclusive Roger von Oech designed Crowne Plaza Think Box. The Think Box is an assortment of inspirational tools and exercises invented by Roger that allow you to plan and participate in activities that will bring your meeting to life.
