Innovation Leader Events
You won’t find the usual canned PowerPoint presentations, panel discussions, and trade show booths at Innovation Leader events.
Instead, we create useful and in-depth experiences that take you inside the most innovative spaces in the world to interact with the teams running those centers, and host informal, interactive whiteboard sessions that connect you with your peers to share best practices, compare approaches, and explore solutions to common challenges.
Whether you attend one of our Field Studies, our annual Impact conference, or our regional executive roundtables, or our new one-day Deep Dive events, you’ll benefit from the high-level information exchange and networking opportunities that are Innovation Leader hallmarks.

Innovation Leader Field Studies
Our Field Studies provide an engaging and collaborative forum for innovation executives, enabling them to visit other innovation spaces, share war stories, and benefit from the insight of their peers.
We’ve taken Field Study participants to dozens of innovation spaces at the world’s best-known brands, including Adobe, American Greetings, Autodesk, BMW, the Cleveland Clinic, CVS, Dow Jones, Fidelity, Ford, Google, Home Depot, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, LinkedIn, MasterCard, NASDAQ, Porsche, Starbucks, Twitter, Visa, Vodafone, and many others.
Have a look at the photo galleries from our past Field Studies and see what participants had to say about these one-of-a-kind events.

Innovation Leader Deep Dives, Roundtables & Executive Forums
Our shorter events — from a three-hour roundtable with peers to a full-day Deep Dive focusing on a single theme — still deliver incredibly high value to participants. Usually, we host them in corporate labs or startup spaces (not hotel boardrooms.)
We’ve run roundtables and Deep Dive gatherings at the CME Group, Johnson & Johnson, LinkedIn,
MassChallenge, MasterCard, Royal Bank of Scotland, Starbucks, Verizon, Whirlpool, Work-Bench, and many others.
To join us for an upcoming roundtable, Deep Dive, or executive forum, see our events calendar.
