UF Innovation Week 2017

UF Innovation Academy is excited to announce Innovation Week (iWeek) 2017 taking place February 6-9, 2017. iWeek 2017 is a four-day celebration of the innovation all around us, and is where artists, designers, entrepreneurs, engineers, leaders, scientists, and change makers unite to Discover, Be Inspired, Play, and Connect. When fully engaged in all FOUR, you become part of a shared journey. This year, each day (Monday – Thursday) will own a theme:

• Monday, February 6, 2017: Innovation & Creativity
• Tuesday, February 7, 2017: Entrepreneurship & Technology
• Wednesday, February 8, 2017: Social Responsibility
• Thursday, February 9, 2017: Leadership
