Innovation Meetups

The primary purpose of these meetups is to support an active and growing innovation and human-centered design community of interest. We want to do this through training, teaching, practicing and sharing our experiences. 

We also want the meetups to serve as a conduit to give individuals the tools, know-how, and moral support needed to champion openness, innovation and human-centered design in their own teams. 

The meetups aim to: 

  • Build and grow an innovation community over time,
  • Provide an open space to bring together multiple perspectives around innovation in the government, and
  • Identify gaps at the department level for talent and innovation work
