During this eight and final event in the Innov8rs Connect 2021/2022 series, we’ll focus on innovation for solving the big challenges of our times.
Climate change projections are getting more alarming more urgent. Consumers and employees demand brands to take action, and governments are implementing aggressive environmental and climate regulations.
It’s clear we can’t continue with business as usual: we need new solutions at scale- fast.
Here’s a summary of the many themes and questions we’ll be addressing in the live sessions, and through the selected content items.
How to integrate sustainability as a key driver within our innovation efforts?
How to get internal stakeholders on board for sustainability innovation?
How to collaborate with startups and engage in external ecosystems to drive sustainability innovation?
Beyond greenwashing, how do we know we are indeed making the impact we aim at having?
If you are working on and interested in themes and questions like this, join 350+ other cross-industry innovation leaders and professionals for 25+ in-depth conversations and interactive sessions.
Bring your team. Boost your impact.
You can focus on one key topic and get to the bottom of it. Or, you can divide and conquer to catch the best and latest on all key themes and trends.
With our team packages you get a great deal on tickets- but even greater outcomes.
With so many issues to tackle and so much change happening so fast, you will benefit from your team joining too.
For this event, you can purchase a pass to join with a small team of 1-3 participants, or a larger group of 4-10 participants.
Not your typical event: you'll learn and do stuff.
Forget pointless powerpoints. You’ll roll up your sleeves, and work with peers and experts in interactive small group sessions. And no theoretic blabla: you'll focus on whatever is most important to you.
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.
Live Sessions
In the main week of the event, you can choose to join a diverse range of 20+ interactive small group sessions and peer circles as they happen. You can also host your own sessions to ask for feedback or share your approach.
Content
For four weeks per event, starting one week prior to the main week and ending two weeks after, you'll have access to a selection of topical past session recordings and other resources plus of course once the event is over, session recordings from the event itself.
Community
You can easily tap into the expertise and experiences of peers and experts, available to share their knowledge and provide guidance. Ask a question, share your experience and discuss topics- all available 24/7, so you can engage whenever you want.
You’re busy, of course. You let us know what your questions and challenges are, and based on that you'll get a personalized schedule highlighting sessions and content most relevant for you (so you can invest your time wisely).
Live Sessions
In the event's main week you can join 20+ interactive small group sessions. Talks, workshops and roundtables- all covering what you need to know and do now to further improve your innovation outcomes.

Trusted by brands. Loved by peers.
"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!"
