In addition to learning from the industry’s brightest minds, attendees will have the opportunity to expand their networks and meet future strategic partners, while enjoying all that New Orleans has to offer in the midst of Jazz Fest. 

“We want attendees to leave INNO inspired by the presentations and armed with new connections that will help them push the boundaries of business and innovation,” said Sloan Miller, the executive director of INNO. “New Orleans and the region are home to an incredibly talented community of entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders, and technologists. INNO is the place for this community to converge to learn, collaborate, and co-create the next wave of groundbreaking businesses and technology.”

The three-day event kick-offs with INNO’s 24-hour Hackathon, hosted by Amazon Web Services and Loyola University’s Center for Entrepreneurship. The event will bring together teams from across the country to compete in creating technological solutions for some of Baton Rouge’s biggest pain points including blighted properties, public safety, economic inequality, traffic and crime.
