About our event:
This is a team community event – embracing ideas worth spreading. We are focused on showcasing ‘game changers’, ‘innovative minds’ and ‘talents’ within the Greater Puget Sound community bringing together an extraordinary expose for a thriving, sustainable, vibrant future! On a Leap Year date, we’ll have a chance, collectively, to take a giant leap forward. This event will be one that participates in the TED goal of The City 2.0, the dream/goal of scientists, architects, innovators, urban planners, mayors and public policy folks for dozens of years -through urban planning, architecture, design, technology, healthy lifestyles, entrepreneurship and community activism. Great communities represent an incredible opportunity for a beautiful, sustainable future:
- they promote innovation through proximity
- they can reduce population growth
- they can ease development pressure on rural areas, by offering economic opportunity, culture, education.
