VIRTUAL CATALYST LAB
Event Information
Description
Leaders interested in co-creating cooperative destinations for positive change, ‘catalyst hubs’, will convene to advance these place-based demonstrations of neighborhood revitalization.
Catalyst Lab is the first in a series of gatherings to co-create emergent models of mutual stakeholding in a working laboratory environment. Each attendee is a co-creator in the event experience.
We will develop partnerships between three primary stakeholder groups – the local community, the private sector and the local government – to manifest catalyst hubs that reinforce the best in human nature.
