The Inside Innovator Summit: Powering Growth through Intrapreneurship

The Inside Innovator Summit is a transformative one-day experience designed for forward-thinking leaders, managers, and professionals who recognize that innovation doesn't always come from outside — often, the most powerful ideas are already within, waiting to be discovered and developed. Led by Louis K. Gump, this workshop draws from his best-selling, award-winning book and extensive experience as an intrapreneur at major media companies and CEO of leading digital firms. Participants will gain practical frameworks for identifying and empowering internal innovators to drive sustainable growth.

Intrapreneurship is the practice of creating value through innovation and growth within larger organizations. It empowers employees to think and act like owners, developing innovative ideas, products, and processes while leveraging the resources, expertise, and infrastructure of their organization.
