Programs & Events

   

Where the conversations happen.

ILF events are curated, practitioner-led dialogues — not keynote lectures. We convene in small groups to generate insight, discuss real challenges, and build the relationships that matter.

ILF Launch & Founding Kickoff — Where Innovation Meets Purpose

Our First Leadership Roundtable

On November 14, 2026, ILF will convene its inaugural, invitation-only Leadership Roundtable at NC State University’s Centennial Campus in Raleigh. Participants from academia, industry, entrepreneurship, and public policy will explore real examples through two focused discussions - Research to Market and Government Policy Impact on Innovation and identify practical next steps for continued collaboration.
