Speaker: Craig Elias of Alberta Innovates
The Social Impact Starter Series’ Bonus Session offers a chance to celebrate progress, network, and gain actionable insights for driving social change, featuring Craig Elias of Alberta Innovates. A globally recognized entrepreneur and LinkedIn pioneer (member #4,000), Elias founded InnerSell.com–a $1 million-funded startup named among North America’s top 50 companies–and developed Trigger Event Selling™, a method that quintuples sales success.

The four key themes are:
– Identifying your REAL Competition
