Good idea, they do often say if Einstein didn't discover relativity, someone else would have within the decade, due to the spread of ideas/inspirations. Taking in the field is likely the best way to discover a 'theme' to which a new innovation will be involved with, however narrow or broad that theme.

The reason I suggest looking at the workshops at conferences is that each one is effectively a cluster of ~6-8 talks and papers / posters with a common theme. Moreover, the ideas for these workshops are submitted, reviewed, and chosen by experts in the field so you know at least someone thinks it's an interesting developing area.
