Katz Innovation Summit

Since the inaugural Summit in 2016, KIS has continuously inspired Jewish professionals through dynamic in-person learning sessions and engaging webinars. Penn Hillel and Hillel International are proud to co-organize and facilitate the annual Katz Innovation Summit. Over COVID, this summit shifted to a monthly cohort that met virtually while providing learning and exploration modules for individual campus Hillel professionals. In the winter of 2022, we shifted back to the original form, as the summit took place during the annual HIGA (Hillel International Global Assembly) conference.

Over 300 Hillel professionals from across the movement – both in terms of geography and role – gathered during a day-long series of speakers and Workshops to learn innovation, relational engagement strategies, and user experience models to help create transformative programming, communities, and relationships at their respective Hillels. The topic of the day was “Shaping the Next 100 years of Hillel Through…” and individual workshop leaders led such breakout sessions as “Through …Cultivating Spiritual Chutzpah” or “Through……Facing Hard Truths and Cultivating Courageous Action”.
