Leaders in the fields of technology, education, business, and the arts came together for an in-depth panel discussion on the importance of creativity and innovation in the classroom and the role of arts education in the development of future workforce.

Bowman, M.A. (the Chief Officer of Early Childhood Education for Chicago Public Schools), Carol Forsyte (the Corporate Vice President for Laws and Securities for Motorola), and Mohanbir Sawhney (the McCormick Tribune Professor of Technology for the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University).
