Impact 2018 is the only conference designed exclusively for corporate innovation, new ventures, and R&D leaders in large organizations. It happens October 16-18 in Boston. Limited space remains.
Discuss best practices — and what really creates impact — with peers from Amazon Business, GoogleX, Facebook, Lyft, Walmart, the Orlando Magic, the Boston Celtics, Embraer X, Lucasfilm, the Department of Homeland Security, and Kellogg Co., plus professors from Harvard Business School, Babson College, and MIT’s Sloan School.
Impact is for corporates only; no vendors allowed, so it's a safe and high-value environment for comparing and contrasting your approach with others.
