Introduction

The INNOVATION CONFERENCE SERIES: Connecting Creativity to Regional Success brings together leaders from the arts, science, business, education, and government. The quarterly series focuses on the roles of creativity and innovation in building a competitive, sustainable and livable community in the 21st century.

The March 17 conference, Science, Technology and Economics: Creating a Culture of Innovation, will focus on and explore methods for capitalizing on Rochester’s wealth of creative resources. Come hear about innovative models and approaches from Rochester, New York City, and Philadelphia. Our keynote speaker, Assemblyman Joseph D. Morelle, will present "Creating a State of Innovation: Unleashing the Power of New York's Entrepreneurial Economy."

Don’t miss these opportunities to learn from key figures who are shifting mindsets in Rochester and in cities across the country; to explore the intersection between the arts, business, science and technology; and to create dynamic partnerships to impact economic, human, and community outcomes.
