The 2025 Innovation Festival is a fully in-person experience rooted in the heart of downtown New York City. Anchored at Convene, 225 Liberty Street, the festival radiates outward with immersive Fast Tracks—intimate events hosted inside the offices, studios, and creative spaces of the world’s most forward-thinking companies—and Taste of Innovation experiences that celebrate bold ideas and flavors.
This is not a hybrid or livestreamed event. It’s designed to be felt in real time, through the pulse of the city, the power of conversation, and the spark of in-person connection.
Day passes are now on sale starting at $399. Available for September 16, 17, and 18, these passes offer a full day of curated programming, networking, and experiences—whether you choose General Access or All-Access.
