Join us for the 2025 innovationIOWA event
Thursday, July 10
11-11:30 a.m. Networking | 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Program
Des Moines Heritage Center
For innovators, answering the question “How did you get there?” entails much more than a step-by-step timeline. To them, it might mean, “How did you find success and support along the way? How did you navigate challenges or failure? Why do you choose to do this work?” At our annual innovationIOWA event, we will explore these questions and more with entrepreneurial Iowans tackling unanswered problems and creating an ecosystem where innovation is possible. Come hear the inspiring stories and lessons of Iowa innovators in Q&A-style conversations and get your copy of the 2025 innovationIOWA Magazine. Plus, you’ll help honor this year’s innovationENTREPRENEUR and innovationLEADER award winners.
