Virtual conversations with your IASP innovation community

With many of us still remote working, while others are back in the office but still with limitations on international travel, IASP is pleased to launch a new series of webinars. We may not be able to meet face to face and visit other members of our global community, but we can still get together virtually, greet each other on camera and learn from each other and from innovation experts around the world.

To take us along the road to our 2020 Virtual World Conference in October, we will soon be announcing dates and confirmed speakers for a series of themed webinars covering different tracks, with the first 3 going live in the coming weeks:

• "Let’s talk" crisis discussion groups – starting on June 2nd, (with sessions at 11:00 CEST and 17:00 CEST) IASP members from around the world will share their ideas and reflections on the impact of COVID-19, coming together to compare notes and learn from each other. Contact us at communication@iasp.ws if you’d like to join in.
• COVID 19 impact chats – looking to the post COVID world, innovation ecosystem leaders will tell the stories of how they are coping with the pandemic, how they are supporting their companies in the journey back to their facilities, reconfiguration of spaces, support to startups and more. Join us for the first conversation at 17:00 CEST on June 9th, where we will hear from IASP Chairman Paul Krutko (Ann Arbor SPARK, USA) and Gavin Poole (Here East, UK).
• Peer-to-peer talks: AOIs & STPs – exploring activities and themes that many innovation ecosystems have in common, zooming in on topics such as sustainability, mobility, living lab approaches, stakeholders, city engagement, community building and more.

We will share dates, times and speaker names as they are confirmed, so keep an eye on the IASP website and your inbox for updates!
