The goal of Innovation Day is to showcase innovation happening in Central Oregon, and to inspire attendees to think creatively about their work, company/organization and our community.

Fast-paced breakout sessions throughout the day will provide an interactive, dynamic forum for shared learning, and will include examples of innovation from manufacturing, outdoor products, cannabis industry, specialty foods, retail and more. Attendees will also get to discuss the “dolphins vs. sharks” approach to doing business in Central Oregon, dive deep with social impact companies, and flex their creative thinking.

Innovation Day will become an annual event and grow over the years to celebrate the creativity and ingenuity of local entrepreneurs, businesses, nonprofits and public organizations on all things innovative.  Register today to be part of the very first annual event!
