Innovation Reactor IDEASTORM #2

The Innovation Reactor IDEASTORM is a night dedicated to fresh ideas and new connections. Join us to take part in interesting conversations about the Innovation Reactor themes (found below). At the end of the event, we'll come together and share highlights from our conversations, and there will be an opportunity to form project teams should you be interested in developing an idea.

All UCalgary members are welcome to participate!

And don't forget to sign up for the next BIG IDEAS Hackathon for an interactive, hands-on experience that will enable participants to build, validate and launch innovative projects over the course of a weekend. Teams that wish to continue on with their projects will have the opportunity to pitch for up to $10,000 in innovation grants!
