Networking

Immerse Yourself - Consider this Your Innovation Lab and create Your Ideal Experience

Actionability || Stimulate Your Thinking... Take Action on What You’ve Learned

Innovation Lounge
Ideas comes from organic
conversations… they need open
space… time to synthesize… a
relaxing environment. Get away from
the track rooms and relax in our
innovation lounge- an open, ‘non-
conference’ space to synthesize your
ideas. Think beach balls, sudoku
puzzles, poster boards & markers,
soft music...

Innovation Corporate Coaches
Make sure your experience is valuable for you and your company. Dedicated “innovation coaches” will be available during breakfast on Wednesday to help you translate the innovation insights you learned at the event into actionable strategies back in the office. Sit with these coaches to understand how to tackle your particular goals, process the key learnings to date, and understand what sessions will benefit YOU.

Networking || Sharing

Some of the Best Learning
Happens from Peer
Exchange and Authentic
Conversation...

Opening Night Cocktail Extravaganza!
This is where it all begins. Yes, there’s food. Yes, there’s drinks. But most importantly there’s 300 of your peers who are all there for one reason: in- person discussions and networking.

Lunch Topic Tables
You never know where- or WHO- your next great idea might come from. Meet new people who share your common interests, challenges, obstacles over lunch. Topics will be assigned to specific tables of lunch to help you branch out and network with others like you.
