Community Programming at the Social Innovation Hub

Join us for the inaugural month of community programming at the Social Innovation Hub!

Calgary is a bustling innovation and tech city; the stage is ripe for building an ecosystem that brings diverse industries into the fold. Creatives and Tech Connect is a networking event that has a twist – a focus on industry and building toward an inclusive innovation sector (city building). Hear from a panel of industry leaders on the value of intersections of Arts in Tech and Tech in Arts. Let’s explore a bigger vision for our city and the potential of our region when we bring these communities together to work on city building, startup development and economic development. This event is for individuals in the creative industries and tech community to network and socialize. Bring your curiosity, positive attitude and openness to connect with new people to grow your business network. Who will be there? Creatives and Tech Meet Up is co-delivered by Innovate Calgary and industry guests.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/armstrongjordana/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jordana Armstrong</a> has 10 years of experience in business, technology, and innovation sector.
