Yesterday's Open Coffee Event was a success. With over 20 people in attendance throughout the day, a lot of networking, learning and co-working went on. I was able to meet a lot of new people and learn about the cool businesses and projects they are working on. Garrett Winder and I spoke about Marketing in the new Economy. It's all about caring: listening, engaging and being personable. I've posted the slides here. Sorry if the slides are a bit out of context without any commentary. As mentioned before ACU's Springboard Accelerator hosted the event in their new location. The Accelerator is doing very well, already having several co-working and incubator clients. If you are a free-lancer, business owner, or early-stage startup, the Springboard Accelerator is for you. It provides a place to work, meet with clients, coffee, internet, etc. at a low fee for students and those in the community. For more information, contact Kevin Christian via email kevin.christian@acu.edu or phone 325-674-2786. You can also learn more about them by following their facebook group. The next event should be sometime early next year.
