3rd-Annual American Innovation Conference

Monday, November 16, 2020, 9 a.m.12 p.m.

Zoom

The American Innovation Conference is dedicated to sharing, collaborating, and celebrating customer-focused innovation and its impact on company success. Companies that are perceived to be innovative by their customers are more attractive, enjoy higher loyalty, and are ultimately more successful than companies that lag in innovation.

Join us for the keynote presentation by Sheri Feinzig, partner, IBM’s Talent Management Solutions Consulting and Smarter Workforce Institute. Hear success stories and lessons learned from the most innovative companies in America, as well as insights from the authors of the American Innovation Index. There will be an opportunity to talk to innovation leaders in all sectors at the celebratory reception following an awards presentation.
