September 25, 2009 – Greater Indy Innovation Roundtable (GIRRT)

Greater Indy Innovation Roundtable Luncheon

September 25th from 11am-1pm

The group (GIIRT) is about fostering innovation in businesses of all sizes and in all markets. Our next gathering, “The Big Event”, is a re-launch of sorts to really raise awareness about GIIRT and start our official cycles of “Connect – Learn – Do.”

GIIRT is not a networking-thing, but a medium in which creative people can meet, discuss issues with processes, services, or products, and collaborate with peers in a high-level-problem-solving fashion. We also share and showcase innovation success stories, and offer education by inviting people that have shown some real innovation and created some real outcome to talk about how that outcome came to be.

Candice and Pete Kissinger, founders of Bio-Analytical Systems (BASi), what is now a huge company based in Purdue Research Park, will be speaking on how fostering innovation created and is now sustaining the very successful and growing company that it is today.  You can find out more about this event here.
