Networking
Happy Hour: "un-conference" and reception with the
Council for Entrepreneurial Development
We are planning to join the
Council for
Entrepreneurial Development (CED) for its
"Un-Conference Kick-Off" event and reception. An
un-conference is a forum in which all program
content is fluid, interactive, and customized for
the participants. Session attendees have the
opportunity to suggest discussion topics of interest
to them. One of the discussion topics will be “What
will we ‘drive’ to work in 2025?” – covering issues
of transportation, alternative energy and
sustainability. Another suggested topic that may
interest TNI members is "What's the future of green
technology?" (You can also propose topics for the
un-conference online yourself.) Afterwards, we are
invited to join the CED for a free “Techie Tuesday”
networking reception in partnership with the
Research Triangle Foundation.
Date: Oct. 10
Time: 3:00-5:30 pm Un-Conference Kick-Off
5:30-8:00 pm Networking Reception
(Participate in one or both. Participation is free.)
Where: NC Biotech Center in RTP (directions)
