Conference Tracks
We’re organizing sessions into six tracks, so that you will be able to go in-depth on these topics, level up your understanding, and bring tangible value and practices back to your organizations. You’ll also be able to bring your own issues to the fore by proposing discussion topics (using only a Post-It Note!) that you’d like to convene peers around, on both October 26 and 27th.
Tracks will include:
Generating Business Value with AI
Constructive Collaboration with Business Units and Functions
Building New Ventures
Advancing Open Innovation & Startup Engagement
Optimizing the Innovation Team
Navigating New Mandates (including Sustainability + DEI).
