What makes a thriving economy that builds connections between people and the places they live?
Please join us for an engaging and interactive evening with economist, attorney, and award-winning author Michael H. Shuman. Mr. Shuman will share his thoughts on economic development as practiced today, and will set out an alternative set of principles and practices involving a local living economies approach that focuses on local business and an entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports them.
After the presentation, The Design Nerds will lead the audience through a nerd jam! The audience will breaks into teams of 6 – 8 people and tackle ten different economic design challenges.
