On July 26th, we gathered more than 40 leaders in innovation, strategy, technology, digital transformation, and R&D in Boston for our annual Summer Advance gathering. Attendees proposed topics in the morning, and we built the agenda together. Topics included “Going Bigger and Bolder,” driving progress in ESG, Gen AI tools, the future of the workforce, multi-party innovation, and corporate venture capital.
Thank you to our event partners, BCG and the MIT Industrial Liaison Program, for their help bringing everyone together.
