BALTIMORE & WASHINGTON & ALEXANDRIA, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#TI24–Think Systems Inc., a national innovation, operational excellence, human capital management and metric + milestone driven advisory firm, is pleased to announce Think | INNOVATE 2024. The one-day event will be held on May 2, 2024 at the stunning Merriweather Lakehouse Autograph Collection property in the newly appointed and expanded Merriweather Innovation District located in the heart of Columbia, Maryland – one of the most consistently vibrant US innovation ecosystems.
Think | INNOVATE 2024 will attract 200+ national C-level executives, business owners and government/public sector leaders to the DMV from a wide array of industry and innovation categories.
“Never before has it been more important for leaders to challenge and pressure-test viability and potential growth trajectory as it is in our current economic climate,” said Joe Poling, President of Think Commercial Services. “We are thrilled to host Think | INNOVATE 2024 where leaders can leverage the power of collaboration to discuss the most pressing issues of today and embrace innovation to grow, scale, and compete in the future.”
Over the next 12 months as part of an intentional roadmap to Think | INNOVATE 2024, Think will host a series of Exclusive, Quarterly and Monthly pre-events with some tailored to interests of sponsors/attendees and others available to the public. Registrants of Think | INNOVATE 2024 will have complimentary access to these pre-events as well as the ability to communicate and collaborate with each other and all things Think | INNOVATE 2024 through the Whova mobile conferencing app which was a crowd-favorite for past events. There is no better opportunity to learn about innovation where technology meets business operations, meet accomplished business leader-peers, or have them meet you than taking advantage of these early networking opportunities.
“Think | INNOVATE 2024 is a curated gathering for business leaders to meet and explore ideas and strategies designed to spark innovation, transformation and growth outcomes,” added Michael Binko, Managing Director for Venture Services, Innovation and Ecosystems. “One motto for the conference is: Stop | Think | Innovate as taking a moment to assess situations and activate resources is always an Innovation Roadmapping best-practice. We know change is difficult and while innovation is change, it is often most productive during challenging times. We encourage all Think | INNOVATE 2024 stakeholders to ask themselves: ‘What is My 90-Day Innovation Roadmap?’ This simple question is intended to ‘cause pause’ but then quickly empower leaders to think and act strategically with efficiency and intention,” added Binko.
The Think | INNOVATE 2024 team will issue an official Call for Speakers in the coming weeks. Topics will include digital transformation, generative AI, machine learning, cybersecurity, quantum computing, supply chain management/Industry 4.0, sustainability, user experience (UX/UI), as well as leadership/talent development among others.
