Seattle Innovators Inaugural Meetup

Come to our inaugural meet up event! Scheduled for January 24th, 4:00-6:30 p.m. at the amazing Seattle Collective, in South Lake Union.

According to Steve Jobs, “Innovation is the only way to win”, yet few people understand what it is, and even fewer have been trained on how to accomplish it. That's why 96% of innovation projects fail!

To overcome this, Day One Innovation is kicking off the Seattle Innovators meet-up events, to provide a unique opportunity for anyone who wants to advance their careers and businesses, by learning the best ways to innovate, from business practices to the latest technologies.

Presented by Trent Gillespie, Chief Innovation Officer of Day One Innovation, each meeting will have three parts:

1. A short presentation on fundamental innovation concepts, with a new subject each meeting.
2. Group discussion on how to overcome current innovation challenges and/or
3. Group discussion on how to use new technologies.

This is intended be a highly-interactive, engaging event series, where attendees can learn new concepts, meet new people, and get immediate value from their attendance.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This group is for anyone who is passionate about innovation, or wants to learn how to be better at it! That means you seek out better ways to create value, identify and launch new business models and new technologies, improve existing organizations, or generally just want to meet cool people and talk about cool stuff!

This kick-off event is no cost, but registration is required and limited to ensure we can fit in the space. Food and drinks available for purchase.

The planned schedule is below (subject to change):

4:00: Doors Open & Networking
~4:45: Welcome & Introduction
5:15: Group & Break Out Sessions on Innovation Challenges
5:45: Group & Break Out Sessions on New Technologies and Innovations.
6:15: Move to the bar to continue discussion, or go home!

Of course, since this is the first event, timing may not go exactly to plan, and all feedback will be welcome as we figure out the best ongoing format!
