INTRODUCTION
Innovation is the creation of new economic value from the application of better solutions. It takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, and business models. As professional service providers, we should expect perpetual change in the markets we service as well as the tools and methods available to our businesses and to those of our clients.
The Innovation Affinity Group is a collaborative forum for members to discover and exchange ideas and business opportunities revolving around the practice of innovation.
Our group is a carefully curated roster of ProVisors members who are objectively relevant and accretive to the group's mission above, with regards to how they think, how their businesses operate, and how they deliver innovative value to their clients.

CRITERIA FOR GUEST REQUEST ACCEPTANCE
We accept qualified guest requests on a first-come-first-served basis, with exceptions made for those who demonstrate their ability to make meaningful contributions to our innovative brain trust.
To qualify your guest request, please complete the following steps in this order:
- Check this page to choose from a list of upcoming meeting topics that interest you
- Read this page to prepare for a rewarding meeting experience
- Complete this guest request survey if you haven"t done so previously
- Submit your guest request through the ProVisors hub.
TROIKA REQUESTS
The Innovation Affinity Group uses an innovative, technology-enhanced tool for managing the troika process. Please do NOT submit troika requests via email.
If you don"t want to be randomly assigned troika, please submit a specific request via this form by 5PM PT on the Thursday before the scheduled meeting date. You will receive a confirmation email after submission, which will include a link enabling you to edit your responses--please save that email for future reference.
Troikas will be assigned on the Friday before the actual meeting takes place, so any troika requests not properly received by 5PM PT on the Thursday before the scheduled meeting date may not be considered. Registered meeting attendees will have access to the meeting attendee list through this page on the ProVisors h\Hub and should expect to receive RSVP photo list PDFs via email approximately 1 week before each scheduled meeting date.
We do our best to honor troika requests and to make thoughtful alternate group assignments. Registered guests who appear on the RSVP list but do not show up to attend the actual meeting itself may be excluded from troikas, so we suggest submitting one or more alternate troika requests as backups.
Troika pairings will be distributed via email to meeting attendees by the end of the day each meeting takes place.
