Regional Whuffie Building: Attracting Innovation to Your City
Panel description:
It used to be a given that you need to move to center like Silicon Valley to have a successful startup. Not so much anymore. This panel is about the people who are creating centers of innovation all over North America and how they are doing it.
Panelist(s) Tony Bacigalupo (Co-founder, New Work City), Geoff DiMasi (Principal, P’unk Avenue), Julie Duryea (Owner/Founder, souk (coworking)), Susan Evans (Co-founder & Owner, Office Nomads), Matthew Wettergreen (Founder, Caroline Collective)

What’s a Whuffie:
The currency of the future.
Roughly equivalent to social capital
Ideas and concepts discussed on the panel:
Coworking space: it’s not a business. Not the goal. Goal is to improve the city that you live in.
If I make the city better, my business will be better.
Hold free events monthly, geared toward designers. Panels that talk about the industry from people in the market.
Adopt international programs, like Ignite (IgnitePortland)
It only takes ten people to make an innovation center. Start simple.
Suggested book: Better Together
