February is "Workshop Month" for our global network of corporate innovators. We've asked your peers to run workshops that they typically run internally for their colleagues. The goal? To give you insight into how others build innovation knowledge and capability and their companies.
Bring your whole team to learn from others, and continue leveling up your awareneness of high-impact techniques and methodologies. If you're easily bored by passive videos and unengaging webinars, we think you will love the Professional Development Series.
Every workshop, like our in-person events, is designed to deliver the absolute maximum VPM (value-per-minute), because we know your time is precious. Join us for just one workshop, or get a discount by purchasing access the whole series. Current Innovation Leader members also receive discounts on registration.

Here's a quick video that shares five tips on participating in one of our virtual meetings on Zoom.
Will you bore me with PowerPoint?
No. While some workshops may include slides, we've asked our workshop leaders to tilt the balance towards activities, exercises, breakout discussions, and Q&A.
Will anyone be there pitching me?
No. This is a pitch-free zone. Workshops are designed with one goal in mind: your learning and development.
What is the code of conduct at these online workshops?
We are dedicated to creating a professional, safe, welcoming, and harassment-free environment for all our attendees — whether online or in-person. Please see our complete code of conduct here.
Can I get a refund?
Workshop ticket purchases are final. However, you may substitute or transfer your registration to a colleague up to the start time of the workshop — just let us know, so we have the new participant's contact info and they are included on the calendar invite.
