Impact 2020
October 20-23
The year’s biggest gathering of corporate innovators.
Each year, Innovation Leader organizes the most useful learning event for corporate innovation, strategy, design, and R&D leaders. It’s all about peer-driven learning. Will you be there in 2020?
What Will You Get Out of It?
Impact will give you the opportunity to learn from other corporate leaders — what’s working in 2020, and what’s not. We know your time is precious, so whether you spend an hour at Impact 2020, or carve out several days, the event is designed to help you avoid mistakes, deliver bigger results, ask questions, and meet other people in roles like yours.
Who You’ll Meet
Impact will feature insights from innovators and C-suite speakers from top companies, including Boeing, CitiBank, Barre, Barre3, Converse, Dell, and more! See all of our speakers, and our agenda to learn more.
What to Expect
In addition to fireside chats, workshops, and case studies, you’ll be invited to participate in yoga and cocktail making, as well as live site visits that will take you inside companies like Kellogg’s, Freight Farms, and the PACCAR. Impact 2020 will also give you the chance to schedule 1-on-1 video meetings with other participants, speakers, and sponsors.
What Past Attendees Have Said...
Impact is designed to be useful to corporate, non-profit, and government innovators at all stages of their journey — there are sessions geared to those just taking on an innovation role, as well as those who are veterans with years of experience. What do other people like you say about Impact?
