# 452 EVENTS, United Kingdom Well-balanced mixture. A few days ago, the 2024 edition of the Global Innovation Forum (GIF) took place in London, an incredible gathering where the world’s leading innovators come together to connect, collaborate, and grow. The Global Innovation Forum is an exclusive event designed for a select group of professionals from top companies around the globe. It combines insightful presentations, engaging panel discussions, and hands-on workshops to create a dynamic and enriching experience. The forum brought together an impressive lineup of speakers who explored the latest trends in innovation, creativity, design, R&D, and new product development. It was an ideal space to exchange knowledge and establish valuable connections with professionals who share a similar mindset and passion for innovation. What made the experience truly exceptional was the mix of compelling business cases and deeply inspiring personal stories. The event featured a diverse array of individuals—innovators, pioneers, activists, creators, thought leaders, and adventurers—each bringing unique perspectives to the table. This year’s theme, Life is a Prototype, was a celebration of the spirit of experimentation and creativity. It encouraged us to embrace discomfort and curiosity, emphasizing the importance of diversity and collaboration as catalysts for innovation within our teams and organizations. 🙌 What’s your take?

As our last meeting before the official chapter launch came to a close, and I pondered over our position as the most vibrant and rapidly progressing hybrid core group in Central London, I couldn't escape the realization of the commitment needed to make an event truly successful. It's not solely the responsibility of the current leadership; it's also indebted to our previous leaders Marlene Francisco and Mark Seow who invested their time, energy, and passion in laying the groundwork for the next wave of leaders to achieve even greater success. Not forgetting the support we get from our director consultant Kostas Kapelas (Msc), which is a game changer. More importantly what I have learned most while leading this group is that in our journey, what benefits one business might not necessarily benefit the collective, but what uplifts the group undoubtedly benefits everyone. Fostering a culture of inclusivity, positive mindset, and leading by example becomes increasingly crucial as we progress into a fully established chapter, that is launching on the 1st May. With our sights set on achieving £1m+ in the coming year, we embrace the ethos of 'We C.A.R.E.' - Closed Business, Accountability, Referrals, and Education. Armed with a clear vision and a well-defined roadmap, we are determined to reach our targets with greater speed and integrity. We extend an invitation to London-based businesses with a forward-thinking outlook to join us, particularly those in industries such as estate agency, travel, virtual assistance, creative design, copywriting, photography, HR, nutrition, and more. If this resonates with you and your business ethos, don't hesitate to reach out to me for your personal invitation to join our community on the 1st May 2024 in Central London.
