Members-Only Meetings

We regularly convene IL members for discussions on topics of interest — which members suggest. These meetings take place on Zoom, and they are designed to be candid conversations among peers, as opposed to passive webcasts. If you’re a current IL member and are logged in, you will see a short registration form (or calendar links) beneath the description of each meeting. We always like to hear suggestions for future meeting topics from our members.

For a complete calendar of all of our in-person and online gatherings, please visit our events page.

Thursday, May 28th at 2 PM ET: How Progressive is Building Employees’ AI Skills

Join us in May when two speakers from Innovation Services, Progressive Insurance’s internal innovation team, will share their learnings from building an immersive learning experience designed to help employees develop practical confidence with AI through exploration and real-world application. Adam Supino and Karen Sipols will share their experiences getting Progressive team members to safely experiment, learn alongside peers, and focus on how emerging technologies can meaningfully support everyday work rather than on the tools alone. Bring your questions, and examples of how AI training happens today in your organization.

* To participate in our members-only meetings, you’ll need an active membership to InnoLead. Contact Scott Cohen with questions.
