The Program (Description)
On Tuesday, March 5, you have the opportunity to participate in a one-day training, complementary to the CaNeoLabs experience. It is particularly aimed at individuals and teams wishing to improve their understanding of innovation labs, in anticipation of a Lab in their territory, organization, or simply to deepen their knowledge of these increasingly prevalent and recognized innovation devices.
Besides, labs wishing to do so will be able to take part in the « Workshops and experiments with young people » day. It is offered to various innovation labs and provides the opportunity to conduct workshops with a young audience. If you have developed new methods, tools, or services, or wish to experiment with young people or create activities for this population, you can come and test them!
The CaNeoLabs Experience will take place on wednesday, March 6, and thursday, March 7! On Wednesday, you will have the opportunity to make presentations to young students and professionals, in addition to lab members. As for Thursday, it will be exclusively for lab members and professionals. These two days offer plenty of networking opportunities and a chance to share your experiences!
