The ProVisors Innovation Affinity Group is a collaborative forum for B2B-focused professional service providers and business consultants to discover and exchange ideas and business opportunities revolving around the practice of innovation. As it relates to our group, innovation is defined as the creation of new economic value from the application of better solutions. It takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, and business models.
Please scroll to the bottom of the pviag.com home page for a look at past event topics and presenters to get a feel for what we’ve been doing recently.
Our group loves speakers and presenters who bring deep industry insights, describe and/or showcase innovative concepts and solutions, or tell their unique story as it relates to the definition of innovation above. Small panel discussions and fireside chat style interviews also work well.
Presentation format guidelines
Generally, a max of 0-15 minutes of one-way content delivery works best, then opening it up to Q&A or some other interactive/inclusive activity.
It can also be 5-10 minutes of intro and then an organized group exercise, if that’s more appropriate depending on who’s leading the activity and what the subject matter is.
Or breaking up the one-way content into shorter segments, with other interactive segments weaved in between.
Weaving breakout sessions into your program tend to be well received b/c it gives each attendee a chance to actively engage in meaningful conversations - but not an absolute requirement.
We’re absolutely open to new ideas and engaging meeting formats, so let us know what inspires you most!
The meeting schedule and speaker/presenter selections are managed by our group's executive committee. Please submit your ideas here and one of our committee members will be in touch with you to explore and coordinate further.
Thank you in advance for your interest to contribute thought leadership to our group!
Sincerely,
Mark Wald, PVIAG group leader
