Coffee and Concepts

Coffee and Concepts exists to disrupt barriers and stir up robust conversations at the intersection of tech and community!

The Innovare Elevation Series is proud to present COFFEE & CONCEPTS!

Join us every 1st and 3rd Thursday from 10-11 AM at the 2nd Floor Hive of the Innovare Advancement Center for this exciting networking opportunity.

Walk in, grab a cup of Utica Coffee, and let’s chat—whether you’re sitting down or standing, the conversation is what matters.

“About what?”
Anything tech-related! From understanding how something works, discussing the new quantum lab at the Innovare Advancement Center, exploring cybersecurity trends, and delving into SBIR/STTR opportunities, to sharing your latest idea or discussing happenings in the Mohawk Valley.

Each session features thought-provoking discussions, a guest speaker sharing insights on cutting-edge topics, and the chance to connect with like-minded individuals in a casual, welcoming environment.

Stay for the full hour or just a few minutes—either way, let’s connect, collaborate, and share ideas over coffee!

Engage.

Network.

Inspire.
