CONFERENCES & ASSEMBLIES

I L O Institute members participate in a range of small knowledge-sharing meetings each year, generally scheduled in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and London. At these meetings, innovation leaders gather no larger than 20, to examine key ideas, tactics and strategies; to share information with fellow innovation leaders formally and informally, and to set the Institute’s research agenda.

Notable leaders in corporate innovation will join I L O Assemblies to discuss their ideas and experiences with members, as well.

In addition to our membership Assemblies, the Institute runs one-day events open to invited guests, and to Institute members, throughout the year. Upcoming one-day events include:
