Innovation Summits

Education & Inspiration Events

For the past decade, I’ve designed and produced immersive education events for a wide variety of clients. These single- and multi-day events brought together teams from across the organization to dive deep into emerging technology, consumer trends, and cutting-edge partners that could help them take advantage of these market changes. While the format evolved over the years, the core of my Innovation Summits was always rooted in education, connection, and showcasing innovative partners.

• For Intuit, I developed and ran Innovation Summits for five years, from 2021-2025. They were the the impetus for rethinking and rebooting the Summit format after the COVID-19 pandemic, as a two-day event of keynotes, panels, workshops, and even a micro-trade show, where partners could showcase their latest technology for the Intuit team. Our Innovation Summits were such a success in spurring innovative thinking inside Intuit that the budget and scope was increased over each of the five years I ran them.

• The success of the Intuit summits won me the opportunity to replicate them for Constellation Brands in 2024 and 2025.

• Prior to the pandemic, I had initially developed the Innovation Summit format for BMW in 2016 and 2017, bringing together thought-provoking reports on consumer trends in mobility and breakthrough partners that could help BMW capitalize on these trends, in an ongoing quarterly half-day format.

• Other companies which I’ve run Innovation Summits for include:

  • Mediabrands’ B2B group (2025)

  • ExxonMobil (2025)

  • Nintendo (2024)

  • Destination Canada (2024)

  • United State Postal Service (2023)

  • Amazon (2022)

  • TIAA (2019)
