Forward Janesville is partnering with Contour Consulting's Kelsey Paasch, the Entrepreneur of the Year honoree at Forward Janesville's 2025 Annual Awards Luncheon, on the Inside Innovator Summit.
The one-day experience on June 17 is 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.
As part of the partnership, all Forward Janesville members — and remember, if your employer is a member, then you are a member! — receive 10% off their ticket price.
