Innovator to Innovator: Turning Systemic Obstacles into Shared Strategies

​Innovation in a corporate environment is rarely a solo sport—it’s a navigation through complex systems. Our February gathering shifts from what we are building to how we actually get it done.

​Join a select group of Tampa’s corporate innovators and leaders for an intimate discussion. This is a collaborative series where we dismantle the real-world hurdles.

​At this session, we will:

​Deconstruct Shared Struggles: Using the anonymous feedback from our registration questionnaire, we will tackle the 'Internal Antibodies' and bureaucratic bottlenecks that stall progress.

​Peer-to-Peer Pressure Testing: Move beyond theory by sharing the specific tactics that have (and haven't) worked when trying to scale new ideas within legacy structures.

​Build the 2026 Playbook: Identify the common threads across our industries to help each leader return to their organization with fresh, battle-tested strategies for driving change.

​Your specific challenges will set the agenda. We invite you to bring your toughest internal roadblocks to the table so we can solve them together.
