3 Events | 1 Day
Coincidence? We think not.
If you have stored up vacation days that need to be used up before the year is out, in a use it or lose it kind of situation, December 6 would be the day to take! We thought this warranted a separate and dedicated post.
In the morning, we are co-sponsoring an event with our good friends over at General Assembly. CMBOS Host, Sophia Moon will be moderating a rockstar panel of Brilliant Designers. Visit the event page for the backstory of our amazing panelists! If you can’t take the entire day off… maybe just take the morning? Or… take the afternoon….?
Our friends over at Impact Hub are hosting their annual Gifts That Do Good Holiday Market in their beautiful event space on the 20th floor with amazing city views… and 20 local entrepreneurs will be selling giftable products that address important challenges and create positive social or environmental impact. What’s not to love about that? You can stay on for the Holiday Party afterwards or head over to…
a free networking event hosted by our buddies over at Vitamin T featuring an hour of apps + beer/wine followed by an intellectual discussion with Jen Kramer and Heather O’Neil, co-authors, Before You Code.
So much excitement in one day…all free (sans the holiday shopping, of course) and we hope you make it to one or all of these amazing events!
