Keynote by Joel Cohen

There's no "I" in innovation - oh wait, there's 2 of them

Joel, a 3 time Emmy winner, talks about innovation and creativity based on his 22 year (and counting) writing gig on & “The Simpsons.” He draws lessons and insights from what some have called “The Greatest TV Show Ever” in a fun and funny presentation with his quickly-fading Canadian accent. You’ll leave with great takeaways, tools you can apply to any creative challenge and also having heard a new, confusing way to say “about.”

An absolutely hilarious, deadpan, quick-on-his feet speaker, Cohen, armed with anecdotes and relevant clips, is perfect for any group that needs to inject more creative energy into their work but who prefer to laugh a little (okay, a lot) while learning how. Joel’s speech addresses managing group dynamics, brainstorming, the evaluation of ideas and innovations and dealing with creative logjams.

  • Unlocking Creative Innovation: Insights from ‘The Simpsons’ Writer Joel Cohen on Mastering TV Comedy and Beyond

Hi Joel – just a short note to thank you so much for your presentation last week and all the running around you did for press opportunities.  Much appreciated! Your keynote was fun and relevant to our members. In addition, with times like this… it was fabulous to inject some humour into the room and leave people laughing. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed it and some even mentioned that they plan to watch The Simpsons every morning to start their day off right!

Joel was great and better still, he is a lovely guy. His presentation was to an audience of about 800 people and he was well received. So much so that I believe he was considered the best speaker of the 2 day event.

In the 27 years I have been arranging speakers for this organization - I have not enjoyed a presentation as much as I personally enjoyed Joel's. He was absolutely fantastic/funny/engaging and we've gotten great feedback from attendees.  Thanks for your recommendation.

Hey Joel,  Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to meet yesterday. I was one of the creative director presenters. I just wanted to tell you that yours was the funniest presentation I've ever seen in my life. Judy and I were the most cynical bastards in that room and we were pissing ourselves. My favourite was the Ikea bit. I loved it because I was thinking at first that it wasn't as funny as the other stuff but then you kept going and going and going. Genius
