NextNow: A fascinating afternoon of interesting people, interesting conversations

You are invited to the last of our Spring afternoons of interesting people and interesting conversations in the NextNow Network:

ABOUT THE NEXTNOW NETWORK AFTERNOON

The NextNow Network brings together smart, interesting people from a wide array of fields in what Bill Daul describes as a “super-collider for people—a fusion reaction where you get more energy out of it than you put in."  

Your organizers are Bill Daul, Betsy Burroughs and "Sky" (Jim) Schuyler

We’ve designed each NextNow Network afternoon so it’s easy and fun for us all to get to know one another, inspire each other and make great connections.To get the conversations and connections started, each afternoon will feature three short "sparker" talks by NextNow members.  Each sparker’s talk is alternated with time for us to get to know each other, inspire each other and make great connections.

Sparking your imagination on May 16th will be...
