Innovation Speaker Series We offer our employees a free Innovation Speaker Series, which has been designed to inspire our employees to innovate and think in different ways. It helps us push ourselves in ways that we've never done before.

Past speakers include:
Walter Isaacson, Author – American Sketches
Scott Anthony, Author – The Silver Lining
Vint Cerf – Referred to as "Father of the Internet"
Bill Eggers, Author – If We Can Put Man on the Moon…
Scott Belsky, Author – Making Ideas Happen
David Shenk, Author – The Genius in All of Us
Dan Pink, Author – Whole New Mind, Free Agent Nation, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko and Drive: The Surprising Truth that Motivates Us.
Forbes Magazine said, "Pink's ideas deserve a wide hearing. Corporate boards could do well by kicking out their pay consultants for an hour and read Pink's conclusions instead." We did one better; we invited him to come speak.

NeuDev and FedEx Days NeuDev: Our engineering teams in our San Diego, CA office put together an event called NeuDev in which anyone with a great idea was given the chance to build it and show it off. The only rules: it has to relate to our products, benefit our customers and needs to be developed in one day. The results are outstanding and Neustar has seen several products come out of NeuDev which were conceptualized, developed and shipped within 24 hours. Now that's innovation!

FedEx Days: One of Neustar's recent Innovation Speakers, Dan Pink, spoke about Atlassian, an Australian company who allow their developers to work on anything they want, any way they want and with whomever they want. Atlassian calls them "Fed Ex" days because the developers have to deliver something overnight. Neustar was so inspired about the sense of innovation that two departments took it upon themselves to institute their own "Fed Ex Days" here at Neustar. We are happy to report that again, we imagined, developed and shipped several products within 1 day.
