Each year BIF hosts a national gathering of amazing people from all walks of life to share their personal story. Now in its sixth year, the BIF Collaborative Innovation Summit is much more a conversation than a conference. Over two days, more than two dozen people will take the stage and replace canned presentations with something personal. There are absolutely no panels or talking heads, no infomercials or powerpoints, just very personal stories from people who combine passion, creativity, smarts and discipline to get things done in new and valuable ways.
