The Next Frontier: A Rooftop Social for Corporate Innovation Leaders
Thursday, September 10, 2026 · 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM CloudM, 189 Bowery, 21st floor · New York
About the Event
An after-work evening on the rooftop with innovation leaders from across the Fortune 500, marking the release of Aucctus's 2026 Corporate Innovation Report.
No pitch and no deck. Open bar, skyline, and a room full of people doing the same job you do at other large companies. Every guest leaves with a copy of the report.
What to Expect
Peers, not prospects. VPs, heads, and directors of innovation from a range of industries. Registration is approved by the host to keep the room focused.
A first look at the data. Original research from Fortune 500 innovation teams on how AI is actually being used, where concepts stall on the way to market, and what separates the teams shipping from the teams still stuck in theater.
Drop in when you can. Come at five, come at six. Stay for an hour or the whole evening.
About the Report
The 2026 Corporate Innovation Report pulls together original research and data from Fortune 500 innovation teams on where the function is heading: how AI is being used versus talked about, where ideas stall between concept and market, and what the teams getting things out the door do differently.
