Four Organizations Team up to Find Solutions to Poverty at the Global Innovation Conference

Santa Clara, CA – October 6, 2010— Accept Corporation, a leader in product innovation management, today announced the company's participation in the Product Development and Management Association's (PDMA) annual global conference, "Navigating the New Realities of Commercial Success," on October 16-20, 2010 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida.

At the conference, PDMA is introducing a social responsibility initiative, ‘Attack Poverty with PDMA' where attendees develop creative and innovative solutions to poverty that will be shared with Grameen America, the recipient nonprofit organization. Accept Corporation is partnering with Games for Democracy, a nonprofit organization that promotes democratic discourse through the use of serious games. Accept will facilitate a carefully designed serious game from The Innovation Games® Company which, with the event's collective intelligence, will help strengthen metrics for measuring the effectiveness of Grameen America's programs to fight poverty.

"We're thrilled to be working with Accept Corporation, Games for Democracy, PDMA and Grameen America on the worthy topic of fighting poverty," said Luke Hohmann, CEO and Founder, The Innovation Games® Company. "Innovation Games are a powerful set of serious games designed to encourage collaboration, enable prioritization and foment discussion. The Innovation Games played on-site at PDMA will provide Grameen America with the actionable data they need to fulfill their mission of creating a world free of poverty."
