NewCo Boulder 2014

Presenters: Hannah Davis, Events and Program Manager Ian Scott, Owner and Creative Director Stevan Simach, CEO and Founder Session Description: Impact Hub Boulder is much more than a co-working space. We are the sum of our 400+ local members and 7000+ global members across 54+ Impact Hubs around the world looking to make the world a better place. Our goal is that everyone who touches the Hub, whether through using our workspace, renting a conference room or coming to one of our many acceleration services such as workshops of one-on-one advising sessions has become better off. To give you a flavor of what we do and who we are. Hannah will start off with a brief overview of Impact Hub and how you may be able to gain value from our community. Then Hub members will showcase their Impact work, to give you a small taste of some of the amazing organization that are making the world a better place here in Boulder. Hear from Root House, a creative studio whose mission is designing for the greater good. They help public agencies, organizations, and municipalities produce the media, the aesthetic, and the delivery of their message to ensure it reaches and resonates with their target audience. Essentially, they are story tellers. They tell compelling stories with graphics, animation, digital media, built environments and exhibits to connect people and place, to craft meaningful messages and memorable experiences. You will also learn about Tact, who works to improve humanity and the environment by accelerating national and international impact organizations with consulting services and software applications. Tact works at the intersection of strategy, technology, culture and impact helping organizations do more of what matters. There will be opportunity for participation in the dialogue around "impact in in business". Afterwards at noon, participants are invited to join the community at our monthly Member Lunch and get to know some of the folks that engage in different levels of capacity at the Hub (while enjoying free food).

Session Description: Galvanize Co-Founder and CEO Jim Deters will talk about how gSchool and galvanize U is disrupting education via it's 6 month training program for junior developers, and just announced accredited Masters of Engineering in Big Data.
