Frontiers Theme Leader Kickoff

OPEN would like to invite you to the 2018 Frontiers Thought Leader Kick-off
on Friday, September 21st at 4:00 pm at the Iberian Rooster.

This gathering is geared specifically for individuals, leaders, organizations, professionals and area residents interested in developing a community that explores, educates and promotes the innovative world of science and research, and the value they add to our city.

If you’re ready to: foster the development of next-level community dialogue around science and research, create a critical mass of thought leaders that drive this dialogue year-round, (in turn providing insights to key leaders and policy-makers), and create synergy between institutions that lead to local, national and global credibility…
then this is the Theme Leader kickoff for you!

The OPEN team will be facilitating brainstorming sessions and discussions to help identify the kinds of inspiration and resources our community needs to move the needle forward towards new Frontiers. These kickoff events are opportunities to connect with likeminded individuals in the community, have conversations about issues and opportunities in our city, and come up with sustainable solutions that help our city evolve.

Your participation is what helps this theme thrive and cultivate a community of connected citizens learning and growing together.

So, Please join us if you’re available!

This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP through the link above.

We plan to host a closed group brainstorm from 4:00-6:00 pm, then have happy hour 6:00-8:00 pm where anyone from the community can join to learn more about Frontiers and mingle with our local Thought Leaders.

4:00 – 6:00 pm FRONTIERS – Thought Leader Presentation and Facilitated Brainstorming Sessions
