EIGHT THAT INNOVATE

EIGHT THAT INNOVATE is a unique opportunity for suppliers to demonstrate how their company is using novel ideas to drive value. Eight finalists have been recognized as the TOP Eight Innovators and now have the chance to showcase their offering to our judges on the main stage – in front of all conference attendees and receive live feedback! A great idea is only half of the formula – you must also showcase your engaging presentation skills to inspire the judges.
