Get excited! The Innovation Challenge from SG2020: The Future of Savings Groups is going virtual and that’s not the only good news. In the interest of being truly inclusive, we’re offering this interactive experience at no cost. In 2020, we’re reimagining learning events as disruptive and collaborative spaces where diverse voices are amplified.
In the spirit of friendly competition, each of the below five Finalists will present 7-minute ‘innovation pitches’ on driving inclusion and resilience for Savings Groups. Participants will be invited to share open and honest feedback on each innovation and will use digital polling to rate each pitch in live time and determine the overall winner of the Innovation Challenge. This is not-your-average Zoom webinar.
The Innovation Challenge will showcase what an entirely virtual SEEP Annual Conference will offer – energizing and catalytic learning spaces designed to collide existing how-to approaches with pioneering why-not experimentation in the economic development sphere.
Join the fun and register now!
