about us
InnovationDC brings corporate leaders and visionaries from different fields together to celebrate cross-sector innovation where people, ideas, and technology intersect.
At the core of this movement are curated gatherings—events where those leading innovation in corporations, institutions, and startups can come together to share what works and what doesn’t. It’s about fostering genuine relationships, learning from each other’s experiences, and pushing the envelope on what's possible in innovation.
