Naming: How would you name a technology and innovation conference?

Eugene Buff answered:

You are getting lots of advise and no name suggestions... :)
I will add to that. The thing to consider is who is going to be your intended audience? Are you planning to invite professionals to discuss issues and actionable topics - then do not worry about sexy name, but make sure you get the reputable people in the organizing committee and keynotes (I will be glad to discuss).
If you plan to make a 'political'/social event for the locals to get excited by the opportunities - then you do need a catchy name and a logo to draw attention. But still - the quality of the program and not the name will attract people. I am getting slots of invitations and info about meetings and innovation is a buzz word these days. So the first thing I look for is the topics, profile of the expected audience/attendees and who is scheduled to present.

The Transilvania name of course brings up something about "innovation in our blood" :)
