The Babson Innovation 2.0 Summit is an invitation only event that brings together some of the world's brightest minds on innovation. You will hear from and share ideas with companies such as Bank of America, Apple, Turner Broadcasting, Partners HealthCare, NASA, Herman Miller, Air Products and others.
In these two days (three days for members) you will hear insights and get first hand in-the-trenches advice on innovation from leading innovators. This is not a feel-good innovation event, it's the nuts and bolts of innovation, the sort of practical and hard-hitting success stories that executives need to lead innovation initiatives that will differentiate their organizations. To request an invitation please contact the Center for Business Innovation, Executive Director, Thomas Koulopoulos at tkoulopoulos@babson.edu.
