The conference that isn't really a conference.

We’ve all been there… that conference where you were forced to listen to talking heads on stage all day long and you can barely stay awake, longing for the day to end…

That’s NOT what you’ll experience with Innov8rs. At our conferences, you'll actively engage and actually learn, so you'll leave with actionable insights to implement.

Our conferences are designed for you to tackle whatever tops your to-do list.

You’ll spend most of your time in deep dive breakout sessions, engaging workshops, focused conversations and targeted networking opportunities. In fact, from the 35+ sessions on the agenda, only 3 are hosted in a plenary setting…

  • Before the conference, you’ll share your goals. What are the challenges you would like to address, what topics do you want to dive into, and whom are you looking to connect with? We’ll already offer you resources and connections before the conference, supported by our AI-powered companion K8.
  • During the conference, you'll follow a personalized agenda, suggesting which (breakout) sessions to join, and whom to meet during the dedicated networking slots and social breaks.
  • After the conference, beyond the session recordings and presentation slides, you will get access to additional resources as well- all for you to get the best possible return on your investment in time.

Join a curated group of 250+ corporate innovators from across industries and from all over the Americas for two full days of in-depth conversations, relevant connections and quality content.

✅ You'll dive into best and next practices on strategy and governance, culture and capabilites, intrapreneurship, venture building and open innovation and much more.

✅ Also, you'll hear from 20+ cross-industry innovation leaders the ins and outs of their approach (and lessons learned along the way). Plus, you'll meet and mingle with local innovators during field trips exploring the local ecosystem.

✅ You'll have in-depth conversations with a select group of other innovation leaders and do-ers who speak the same language, and establish relevant connections that you actually want to follow up with after the conference.

If you have innovation in your title, this is your tribe.

Loved by participants, trusted by brands.

Bringing innovators together since 2011... We've hosted more than 35 conferences in global innovation hubs from San Francisco to Stockholm to Shanghai to Singapore to Sydney.

Looking back at our last US conference, SoCal 2024...

Beyond the high-quality sessions and diversity of speakers, past participants valued most meeting people in jobs like them, who operate in similar environments and speaking the same language. Many stay connected long after the conference, always just a phone call away.

To create the best possible experience for you, we curate the group of participants. You'll meet cross-industry corporate innovators of all trades, all chasing similar objectives and facing similar challenges, across companies and industries:

  • Chief Innovation Officers, VP's of Innovation, Innovation Leaders
  • Intrapreneurs or Corporate Entrepreneurs
  • Innovation (program) Directors
  • Heads of Labs, Incubators and Accelerators
  • Corporate Venturing, Strategy and Corporate Development Managers
  • R&D and Product Development Professionals
  • HR and Organizational Transformation Leaders

You'll connect, collaborate and co-create with peers. That's how we design the event. That's why we limit the number of participants. And past participants loved it.

Here's what your peers said about their experience.

"That was a terrific event! Thank you for all of your hard work organizing + curating a terrific group of people to attend. I just kept having great conversations over both days."

"All the sessions I participated in were amazing. Honestly, it’s very rare to attend a conference with so much enthusiasm and also the fact that it’s truly peer 2 peer."

"Hands down the best conference I’ve had the luxury of attending. I have so many more great people in my world now and have a brain bursting with new ideas and concepts to explore."

Work with the best.

A first overview of innovation leaders and experts confirmed. More coming soon... stay tuned!

"What a great event! I learned as much from the attendees as I did from the speakers and hardly ever do speakers stay around to network after their session. I'm amazed by the format, how open, honest and authentic it was. You rarely ever get that with these types of events - well done!"

"This conference was the best in terms of content- carefully curated and very complimentary."

"It was the most useful conference/event that I’ve ever been to. I walked out of every single session having learned something useful."

"What a conference! It's now the 3rd time that I am attending an Innov8rs conference and as usual I have been amazed by the insights, the learning, the energy in the room and the amazing people I have met!"

"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 try to attend as many as possible. This is my tribe of lifelong learners and do-ers."

"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 itrapreneurship 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."

"Connecting with so many other innovation professionals acted as a shot of adrenaline reigniting my drive to transform our organization. Sometimes working at the front-end of innovation can be a lonely place, especially in a large 100-year-old company. Last week was a refreshing reminder that we're not alone."
