Members-Only Web 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.


July 19th at 12 PM ET: The Future of the Innovation Team: Fresh Data 

Scott Kirsner and Alex Slawsby of InnoLead will join Frank Henningsen, CEO of HYPE Innovation, to review the data from our latest research report, The Future of The Innovation Team. We’ll discuss how this new data maps to your experience — and what it means for corporate innovation, new ventures, and R&D groups.

September 20th at 12 PM ET: Defining Strategy and Delivering Results 

Join Pizza Hut’s Chief Global Food Innovation Officer, Rachel Antalek, to talk about defining innovation strategy and delivering concrete results inside large organizations. Antalek has run her own innovation consultancy, and also served as VP of Concept Innovation at Starbucks. She has been a past speaker at InnoLead events and will have lots of concrete advice to share in this off-the-record meeting with InnoLead members. Bring your questions.
