Fresh Innovators Waterloo Region
Thank you to our partners and sponsors!
Flipping Mindsets. Taking Risks. Sparking Change.
That’s what Fresh Innovators Waterloo Region is all about.
Once a way for organizations to set themselves apart, innovation is now a necessary survival skill for organizations. Whether you look at government, non-profits, tech, education or healthcare, innovation is all around us in Waterloo Region.
Fresh Innovators is where you will hear directly from those in our community making change happen. You’ll hear about the high points and the successes, but you will also learn about the lows, and how local leaders overcame the obstacles and challenges they met along the way.
Attending Fresh Innovators Waterloo Region means that you might just:
- Flip your perspective and learn to look at challenges from different angles and viewpoints.
- Spark new ideas and start thinking outside the box and create a culture of creativity.
- Leap into action and overcome the inertia of uncertainty and view failures as learning opportunities.
- Team up and collaborate and discover how working collectively with others can yield greater impact.
- Get out of your comfort zone, be curious, and start innovating.

Tickets are available one per person, and can be accessed by sending a message to our Ticket Requests e-mail. All you need to do is introduce yourself (we don't need to know your situation - no judgement!) and we will send through what you need to attend!
