What We Offer

ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS

One of our core values is to ENGAGE. With that in mind, we’ve created several avenues for Resilience Innovators to connect with and learn from one another in a judgment-free / sales-free environment. 

Open events include our Resilience Innovator Book Club and TED Member Conversations (previously TED Circles), while more casual engagement opportunities include virtual and in-person happy hours, meetups, and other educational events. 

Attend one of these events and you’ll find an engaged group of seasoned emergency managers as well as early-career professionals, all collaborating to create the future of human-centered, resilience-focused innovation. The informal setting allows for authentic and vulnerable discussions of challenging issues from across public- and private sectors.

What our Resilience Innovators are saying...

Keri Stoever
Keri Stoever

LabX Program Officer | National Academy of Sciences

“Working with Epicenter Innovation has been an amazing experience. They were able to take our initial vision and turn it into a project we never could have imagined on our own. Their team is both friendly and professional and I highly recommend anyone operating in the resilience space to consider working with them.”

Incident Commander & Associate Professor of Cybersecurity | Utica College

“Epicenter Innovation worked for over a year with the Utica College Campus Emergency Management Team to help us mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from a wide range of hazards. In the early days, our team’s capabilities were rudimentary, our training was uneven, and few of our processes were documented in the formal sense. Epicenter Innovation was indispensable in strengthening our working knowledge of concepts like the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS), assessing risks to raise awareness of the hazards our institution faces, and increasing our confidence when responding to crises of any size or scope.”

Communications Manager | Indiana Department of Homeland Security

“The work of emergency management, and especially disaster communication, has been rapidly evolving. The way that Epicenter Innovation connects traditional marketing, risk communication, and disaster principles is a significant step forward in creating stronger relationships and building trust with the public. Even more valuable is the opportunities they provide to connect, discuss, and learn with other practitioners who truly care about building a stronger, more resilient nation.”
