Let's Touch BASE: Why Innovation Isn't Optional Anymore

Innovation isn't necessarily new tech; it's also rethinking, restructuring, and connecting the unexpected.
About this Event

AI is part of everyday business now, but that's exactly why creativity and innovation matter more than ever. When everyone has access to the same tools, standing out isn't about using AI; it's about how you think, rethink, and rebuild around it.

For solopreneurs, startups, and scale-ups, that mindset is what lets you grow and stand out instead of blending into the crowd. Join us for the last Let's Touch BASE event before BASE Conference to explore what innovation really looks like and how to put it to work in your business.

WORKSHOP

We're bringing in an expert to run an interactive workshop designed to challenge how you think about innovation in your business. More details coming soon; stay tuned for the speaker announcement.

FIRESIDE SPEAKER: José Antonio Otoya Nieto

We're thrilled to host José Antonio Otoya Nieto, Facilitator, ADHD+ Coach, Speaker, and Community Placemaker at Just Release The Kraken. José Antonio brings a unique perspective on innovation through the lens of neurodiversity and human-centred thinking.

With a background spanning architecture, urban design, performative arts, and anthropology, José Antonio helps neurodivergent minds build lives and businesses that actually feel like their own. He believes that innovation thrives when we restore our relationships with ourselves, others, our work, and our contexts in ways that hold. His approach is human-centred, action-oriented, and systemic, grounded in dialogue between Western and Andean cosmologies.

In our fireside chat, José Antonio will explore how different ways of thinking, especially neurodivergent perspectives,are not obstacles to innovation, but essential catalysts for it. His journey shows that the knowledge we're told to leave behind is often exactly what we need to build something meaningful.

Full schedule to be announced shortly.
