The 6th annual user innovation workshop was held at the Harvard Business School campus near Soldiers Field in Boston. It was hosted by Carliss Baldwin, Karim Lakhani and Stefan Thomke of HBS and Eric von Hippel of MIT.

A total of 55 research papers were presented over the course of 2½ days. The conference also included about 25 abstract presentations of work in progress.

Below are the scheduled papers; see also the Open Innovation blog for summaries of some of the major topics. (and the overall workshop) and Scribd for a PDF of the presentation slides.
