Monday, September 15, 2025
Exclusively for senior leaders, the Executive Innovation Track at PDMA’s Ignite Innovation Conference is a half-day immersive experience designed to spark strategic breakthroughs and accelerate innovation at the top. This year’s executive session invites high-level decision-makers to step beyond static presentations and into a dynamic, two-part format grounded in real-world challenges and collaborative problem-solving.
Part One: In a candid, interactive session, participants will surface and explore their most urgent innovation challenges. These open discussions offer a rare opportunity to connect with fellow executives across industries and uncover shared constraints and opportunities.
Part Two: Building on the themes from Part One, participants will engage in a high-impact innovation workshop designed to map their business landscapes, identify the constraints that matter most, and explore targeted paths to value creation. Using a systems-thinking framework, the session equips leaders with tools to make faster, more contextual decisions, communicate strategy across silos, and build organizations that sense and respond to change with agility.
Leave with actionable insights, fresh strategic perspectives, and a peer network committed to solving today’s most complex innovation challenges.
