OUR MISSION:
The Innovation Summit is a conference that brings together business owners, thought leaders, change makers and entrepreneurs to discuss, challenge, and learn about innovation in a cross-disciplinary environment.
Engage-in interactive talks with audience-generated content, join-in hands-on workshops with resources as takeaways, and connect with industry experts in an accessible, open forum. Let's go beyond the conversation and take the first steps to break barriers, build relationships, and forge a better future.
50% of the proceeds are being donated to participating nonprofits, the other half will be reinvested so we can create an even bigger impact next year through new programming, grants, and resources.
With social innovation at the center, we strive to build an accessible platform to engage, connect, break down echo chambers, and welcome all vital participants of the community - not just those who are already the most present. This diversity and communication is the first step to implementing real innovation that starts on a local level and works towards a sustainable future on all levels.
OUR TENETS:
Empathy
We want to ensure to have an open, welcoming space where ideas are welcome and everyone is included.
Growth
We want to encourage ways for entrepreneurs and design-thinkers to flourish and provide environments to do so, both physically and digitally.
Accessibility
Open access to knowledge is imperative for making a difference. We make sure the knowledge we generate is available to everyone.
Acceptance
We believe that design and entrepreneurship cannot work together without understanding and identifying with other people’s needs.
