Engage around original ideas and forward-thinking topics!

JEDC is seeking thirty (30) presenters to showcase their original ideas through 10-minute Innovation Shorts presentations at the 2026 Innovation Summit. This year’s Shorts will offer conference attendees a glimpse into a host of topics that surround the larger conference theme, “Forces at Work: Alaska’s Push-Pull Paradox”, exploring how Alaska’s rapidly changing demographics impact business, the workforce, and the economy.

Don’t miss this opportunity to share your innovative project, work, or idea! Similar to a TED Talk, each Short is just enough time to pique the attention of the audience. You will gain experience speaking publicly on their chosen topic while growing their network and creating buzz.
