Want to innovate? Join us for "Innovation Day at NYU's School of Professional Studies with special guest United Nations #NewWork" on April 30th! During this World Creativity and Innovation Day event, we’ll explore ways diversity can fuel creativity and innovation in co-creating our future and global workplace.

At NYU SPS we are sparking greater innovation for the future of work, training, and teaching with the emerging practices of tomorrow. On Innovation Day, you’ll listen to keynote speakers in a special and dynamic knowledge exchange, where you’ll learn how to leverage human creativity and global diversity as invaluable assets of the 21st century.

In this special event, you’ll gain the latest innovation tips from expert NYU faculty and the United Nations NewWork team in an expert ‘lightning panel’ of leading changemakers; participate in an ‘innovation kitchen’ ideathon challenge with ‘master chefs’ from NYU and the United Nations; and engage in a high-impact and interactive ‘microlearning skills workshop’ to develop your superpowers for innovating the future. Come ready to network and leave re-inspired.

The event will occur at the Kimmel Center for University Life (60 Washington Square S, 4th Floor) on April 30 from 1 to 5:30 pm.
