SUMMARY:Edmonton Innovation Peer Forum
DESCRIPTION:Attention Edmonton Innovators: It’s Time to Connect! \n​Wondering why innovation often seems like an uphill battle in well-established organizations?\nYou’re not alone. In today’s fast-evolving markets\, survival tends to take precedence over innovative developments. But imagine mastering both. \n​This session is titled: Identifying your current state! Let’s turn the lens on our own organizations to figure out our starting point\, and then we will find out where to go. \n​Join us for light snacks\, drinks and networking on June 5th at the Edmonton Innovation Peer Forum\, hosted at the Edmonton Unlimited. \n​Who should join?\nIf your organization aims to embrace innovation\, or if you’re looking to boost your knowledge and network in this field\, this event is for you.\nConnect with top innovators\, academics\, and industry leaders throughout the city. \n​Unbounded Thinking’s own Tristan Ham and Shannon Phillips\, along with Mike Procee of the Calgary Peer Forum\, will guide the discussions.\nSeize the opportunity to play a significant role in shaping Edmonton’s future as a landmark city for innovation.
