Lend An Assisting Hand
We know that even a nominal cost for an event like this can still be a barrier for some. Connect is committed to making Innovation Day as accessible as possible, and so we encourage you to think about volunteering for the event. As a volunteer, you would be expected to work one, four-hour shift or more if you’d like, and enjoy the event the rest of the day. Volunteering will also get you free schwag, access to food and beverages free of charge, and the ability to meet with some of our companies and participants with a purpose. Volunteering is great for those that love to give back, but also a great entry-point into our innovation community. You’ll be “in the know” about where everything is at the event and what is going on where. So, people will definitely want to know YOU by the time Innovation Day is over.
A Special Thanks to All Our Volunteers!
