The Creative Problem Solving Institute (CPSI) is an annual creativity conference, sponsored by the Creative Education Foundation. CPSI is the oldest and longest-running creativity conference in the world. It was the brain child of Alex Osborn, the inventor of brainstorming and Creative Problem Solving, the founder of Creative Education Foundation, and more commonly known as the co-founder of advertising firm BBDO. The first conference was held in 1954 in Buffalo, New York, the city that continues to host CPSI.
The conference positions itself as "The HOW TO Create, Innovate and Lead Change conference".
