“I am not sure where I would be with the Innovation Connector if I had not connected with InBIA and attended their International
Conference. This organizationmeans business! InBIA’s International Conference is where I first learned that I am not alone in this innovation journey. From the workshop sessions offered to the networking opportunities I continue to learn the hows, whys, whens, and the whats of this business. Attending is a must.”
– Ted BakerExecutive DirectorInnovation ConnectorMuncie, Indiana
“The comprehensive best practices you learn at InBIA conferences give you exposure to real-life models of successful business incubation programs. Also, the networking with like-minded people - tapping into the vast knowledge of seasoned directors - helps you keep your program cutting edge and dynamic. If you want your program to be one of the best, then learn from the best - the ones who have already faced the problems you are now facing.”
– DeAnna M. Adams Incubator Professional
