What's on next week for Innovation Week

by Adam Crowther | Mar 12, 2021

 

Hey everyone,

It’s ‘Innovation Week’ and we have plenty of fascinating & impressive events to get your creative juices flowing! Be sure to participate in as many events as you can to get the most out of this exciting week! 

We all have the ability to be 'creative and innovative' - we just have to allow ourselves to think outside the box! This is needed now more than ever before. Sometimes the wildest ideas can actually be the most successful. You just have to let go of your inhibitions. The lineup we have organised this week should spark some inspiration for you to create, learn & share new experiences with like-minded people!

Is the next Steve Jobs or Marie Curie among us? Who knows?

Be ambitious and take every challenge as a fresh opportunity this week!
