URBANEXUS, sponsored by Next American City magazine will be streamed live online on USTREAM. Viewers will be able to ask questions of the panel in real time leveraging Twitter (@SoapboxCincy). The event tag is #cincyinnovation.
URBANEXUS is being hosted with help from Soapbox Media, CincinnatiInnovates.com, Northern Kentucky Forum and Haile/U.S. Bank Foundation.
“The panelists who will be taking part in the URBANEXUS conversation represent a diverse, cross-section of innovation in our region, from both the private and public sectors. Greater Cincinnati is flush with some of the world's most innovative companies. What we are trying to better understand is how we can leverage this corporate innovation into our civic realm and put Cincinnati on the map as a progressive, innovative and creative region,” said Soapbox Media Publisher Dacia Snider.
Cincinnati’s URBANEXUS panel discussion will be June 25, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Northern Kentucky University’s Student Union on the Highland Height’s campus. Themed, Creating the Innovative City, it will encompass a panel discussion on how the community "can tap Cincinnati’s internal innovative culture to inspire a broader civic culture that makes Cincinnati synonymous with creativity, ideas and energy." It’s free and open to the public.
