2013 Summit Innovation Showcase presentations available online

This year's Summit for Urban Animal Strategies featured the first ever Innovation Showcase. This element of Summit 2013 introduced delegates to seven unique innovations that are up and running in Canadian communities. 

The 2013 Innovations were promoted to Summit 2013 during the Regional Conferences in April 2013 when Urban Animal Subscribers selected the top two innovations from each region. The innovations crossed all sectors of the Urban Animal Industry from legislation to value added licensing and were automatically nominated for a 2013 Summit Award. 

The Urban Animal Industry can now adapt, adopt or replicate innovations in the communities where a need exists. Duplicating these Urban Animal Innovations is a good and valuable contribution to many communities. 

Those interested in developing a conversation with the innovators are encouraged to subscribe to the Urban Animal Program for direct conversations.
