  1. The Events Discussions - this will be an open discussion (please contact us to get on the list) around Innovation Accelerator events including the upcoming ProjectWeekend 1 event (TBA) and the FacebookWeekend event (Dec 1/2). The main purpose of this discussion will be planning and improvement ideas to keep doing better and better events.
  2. The Innovation Accelerator - this discussion is aimed at helping to create a viable Innovation Accelerator at our 169 Eastern Avenue location. If you are interested in joining this series of discussions, please contact us for further information.
