CROSSROADS + SPARK | What’s Next in Innovation

What happens when bold ideas, emerging talent, and the people willing to take a chance on what’s next come together?

Join ETEC and the Oak Ridge Chamber for CROSSROADS + SPARK, an evening spotlighting the innovators, entrepreneurs, and emerging technologies shaping the future of our region. From groundbreaking research and entrepreneurial ideas to the people turning those ideas into real-world impact, this event is all about what’s happening at the intersection of innovation, opportunity, and possibility.

Hear from the newest Innovation Crossroads cohort as they share the ideas and technologies they’re bringing to the table, then get a glimpse of the energy coming from SPARK Accelerator, highlighting emerging entrepreneurs and the next generation of innovators.

And this isn’t just about sitting and listening. Enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres, connect with fellow ETEC and Chamber members, and mingle with innovators, entrepreneurs, students, researchers, and leaders from across the region. It’s a chance to put the conversations into motion, make new connections, and keep the ideas flowing long after the presentations wrap up.

Come curious. Leave inspired. And maybe walk away with a new connection, a new idea, or a glimpse of what’s next for East Tennessee.

Together, these conversations offer a look at the ideas, talent, and technologies helping drive innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic opportunity across East Tennessee.
