InnovateINW Holiday Gathering

Celebrate an impactful year of regional growth, innovation, and community with local founders, researchers, and tech leaders in the INW. At InnovateINW, we operate on one foundational belief: no one should have to build, grow, or celebrate alone. As we wrap up a remarkable year of economic development, technological breakthroughs, and regional partnerships, we are bringing our entire innovator community together under one roof. Join us at Burbity Workspaces for an evening of festive connection, inspiring insights, and local collaboration. Whether you've been a part of our Springboard Founder program, collaborated as a regional partner, or are looking to plug into the Inland Northwest tech scene for the first time, come raise a glass with us as we toast to this year's wins and look forward to what's ahead in 2027! What to expect: • Interactive Partner & Startup Booths: Connect directly with featured local companies, university talent, and regional innovation hubs displaying their ideas and programs. • Featured Guest Speakers: Hear short, high-impact talks from local founders and ecosystem leaders reflecting on key milestones and future opportunities across the Inland Northwest. • Light Refresments & Networking: Enjoy complimentary food, drinks, and casual conversation with entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, and leaders. • Community Connection: Meet fellow creators and discover how to get involved with regional commercialization, mentorship, and growth initiatives in the new year.
