InnoVAte 2025 

Keynote Speaker

InnoVAte Virginia is delighted to confirm that our opening keynote speaker won’t change:

Tricia Broderick

Her keynote is titled “Building Resilient Learning Teams”:

In today’s fast-changing —and let’s be honest, crazy world— leaders need adaptive high performing teams to deliver results. While it’s rare for anyone to set out to be inefficient or ineffective, the reality is that people often focus on guessing what is right versus learning what is valuable.  Join Tricia for new ideas to focus on building the essential team motivators while removing learning inhibitors to foster a team’s ability to  handle any unexpected and challenging tasks that come their way. Walk away motivated with a new approach to enable building resilient learning teams.

Tricia, the co-author of “Lead Without Blame”, is a seasoned leadership and organizational advisor with over twenty-five years of experience in software development leadership.  She specializes in transforming leaders and teams to achieve quality outcomes through authentic, inclusive, and engaging collaboration.  Known for a people-first approach, Tricia is a sought-after leader, trainer, coach, facilitator, and motivational keynote speaker.  In 2020, she founded Ignite Insight + Innovation.
