Innov8rs Unconference is not your typical event. It’s a collaborative learning program where you get answers to your questions and solutions to your challenges, guided by experts and supported by peers.
You can choose to join 50+ Expert Talks covering the best and latest on all key trends and themes under corporate innovation management, as well as Ask-Me-Anythings with cross-industry innovation leaders sharing their approach, lessons learned and advice.
Also, you can host and join topical group discussions during several open space sessions. Finally, you are invited to form a peer circle with others working on the same issues, for in-depth conversations and accountability support.
Whatever your challenges are, and regardless of industry and innovation maturity, you’ll leave with new, practical insights and an upgraded toolbox, to implement right away.
Throughout the program, you’ll have ample opportunity to:
– Have conversations with others who speak the same language
– Ask your burning questions
– Get open and honest feedback on your approach
– Share your own experiences and stories
– Foster new relationships

"This is my tribe of lifelong learners and do-ers.
Innov8rs is unlike any conference. It’s the only place were corporate innovators and intrapreneurs get vulnerable and real about the challenges facing disruptors today and work together on creating breakthrough opportunities."
"I am blown away with learnings, reflections and new insights. Such an amazing crowd with a true sharing mentality.
I have gathered so many cases for best practice on how to run innovation, how to measure it, how to fuel intrapreneurship etc. Further, most people I have met are really down to earth, pragmatic and no-bulshit kind of people that are creating real impact in the companies they work for."
"I'm amazed by the format, how open, honest and authentic it was.
What a great event! You rarely ever get that with these types of events - well done!"
"This was a refreshing reminder that we're not alone.
Sometimes working at the front-end of innovation can be a lonely place, especially in a large 100-year-old company. Connecting with so many other innovation professionals acted as a shot of adrenaline reigniting my drive to transform our organization."
"I understand how difficult these events are to run in the best of times.
This is hands down the best virtual event I have attended."
"For me, the Innov8rs Unconference is one of the few intrapreneurship conferences that is worth paying for.
The ability to connect with such a high quality speakers, ask questions, and get great insights is just invaluable!"
"I have already used some of the ideas presented. It is also influencing my thoughts on many other areas related to innovation.
The value of the Unconference has far exceeded the cost."
"The conference was great – it was a perfect mixture of networking and practical learning with a group of high-caliber, highly involved and dedicated participants.
It's a rarity to attend an event like this!"
