InnovatorsBox

InnovatorsBox’s series of real-talk conversations focused on
rethinking the career journey.
In each session, we talk with innovators who have pushed “Beyond the Box” of traditional career paths—and societal expectations.
Through our authentic conversations, we come together as a community of innovators, and aspiring innovators, to learn, reflect, and celebrate non-traditional paths. And we come to realize that we, too, can pave our own career paths in a meaningful, and aligned, way.

Past Events

Each Beyond the Box session consists of a panel discussion with members of the InnovatorsBox community and facilitated conversations with all participants.
