2018 INNO Conference

6th Annual Bi-National Innovation Conference

The emergence of a new and dynamic economy, fueled largely by technological innovation, globalization, and shifting commercial relations, has led entities in both the public and private sectors to redefine the characteristics they seek in a modern workforce. More and more, employers are prioritizing the ability to understand and apply new technology, adapt to different work environments, and exhibit proficiency in the ever-important area of soft skills. As has always been the case, regions that provide a workforce with the skills demanded by employers will prosper, while others will be left behind.

As leading regional institutions of higher learning, South Texas College and El Instituto de Estudios Superiores are collaborating in hosting the 6th Annual Conference on Innovation, where we will explore the skills needed to make our students more competitive in the modern labor market and how to attract businesses seeking these skills. Please join us to share your input on these topics with experts from both the public and private sectors. In addition to the presentations, the agenda will include guided round-table discussions and a speaker panel to capture viewpoints from all attendees. Audience participation will be encouraged and the Conference is open to the general public.
