Witness how community, technology, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and arts are all being utilized to successfully produce, distribute, and sell Maine's food. While sampling delectable treats at several businesses, hear about the significance of the food production cluster in Maine along with the assistance that some of these venues are able to utilize to help them succeed.

Tour 2: Rockland Main Street Tour: Preservation and Innovation (more info to come!)
Workshop: Using Innovation Engineering to Think About Sustainability. What does sustainability mean to your organization? Staying in business for the long run? Using resources in an environmentally responsible way? Diversity and inclusion as a workforce strategy? During this highly interactive, creative, and fun workshop, use Innovation Engineering (TM) tools to help you think about sustainability for your situation. You will leverage the diversity of the other participants to come up with ideas to tackle your opportunities and challenges, and learn ways to systematically make progress towards these goals. The workshop will be led by Catherine Renault, a Certified Innovation Engineering Black Belt, and owner of Innovation Policyworks, located in Brunswick.
