Impact Hartford Design Lab (Panel & Networking)
Event Information
Description
Impact Hartford
…a design lab convened by reSET and generously hosted by The Hartford
Social entrepreneurship is growing exponentially and Hartford is poised to be at the center of it all. Thanks to a growing community of entrepreneurs, anchor institutions and corporate partners, our city is increasingly becoming a hub of innovation. Local businesses are busy conceiving solutions for our most pressing environmental and social issues, such as climate change, food and water insecurity, incarceration, unemployment, etc.
Nestled between Boston and New York, Hartford is becoming a “go-to” destination for impact. Let’s take advantage of this incredible momentum. Please join us as we explore where we are going to get Hartford on the map as the “Impact City."
This event will be free to attend. RSVP is required.
Thanks to donations from Hartford Flavor Company and Ted’s Montana Grill, food and beverage will be provided.
