Success is finding connections you need.

Success for InnoVenture Southeast is connecting passionate champions in industry, universities, and entrepreneurial companies with the customers, capital, talent and technology they need to succeed. Our series of InnoVenture Southeast Forums produced throughout the year and around the region organize targeted communities of connections around the priorities of major anchors. In our annual InnoVenture Southeast Conference we put the smartest, most creative people we know in a room together, give them various ways of telling each other what they need to create the future, and then get out of their way and let sparks fly as smart people do what smart people do.

During in the InnoVenture Southeast 2010 season we produced the following forums:

• Product Visualization Community Forum presented by the Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology.

• IT as a Career Community Forum presented by the Consortium for Enterprise Systems Management.
• Advanced Materials Models and Methods Community Forum presented by the Michelin Americas Research Company.
• Nanotechnology Community Forum presented by the NanoCenter at the University of South Carolina.
• Advanced Materials in Alternative Energy Community Forum presented by the Milliken Research Company.
• Smart Home/Smart Supply Chain Community Forum presented by Sealed Air Corporation.

The culmination of the year was the InnoVenture Southeast 2010 annual conference where 600 attendees connected with seven senior leaders, sixty passionate champions, and each other.

How you can plug in.

We are seeking Diamond Anchors who we can help grow communities of customers, capital, talent and technology they need. We start with a simple question: If we could fill a room with a 100 people you need to connect with, who would be in the room? Then we identify a small group of Colleagues to help create the agenda for a Forum and to invite contacts they know who can benefit from participating. Last year anywhere from 60 to 130 people attended each of the Community Forums we produced.

We are seeking Jade Anchors who to work with us throughout the year to benefit from connecting with the talented, creative people who attend these our Forums and Conference

We are seeking Sponsors who have a particular interest in connecting with targeted attendees at one of the Forums or our annual conference.
