The Innovation Summit is our exclusive invitation-only event with no more than 8 companies in the room to learn from each other and network with the NEISTE Board Members and distinguished guests. Invited guests are from all 6 New England states. Collectively they each have a reach of about 3000-5000 through their work and their social connections. Their invitation to the Summit includes a clear directive to share widely what they learn about each of the products and services. Although I cannot guarantee a big contract, one Summit startup got a substantial contract a few years back and the company is thriving. Another two companies partnered on a project after meeting at the Summit.
