DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening of knowledge sharing\, engaging speakers\, a fun\, inspirational\, fast-paced format\, and of course local beer! We will be using the “Pecha Kucha” presentation format which is a fast 20 slides by 20 seconds each. If a presentation feels slow\, it’ll be over quickly! \nSomewhere between a TedX\, Moth Radio Show\, and a sales presentation\, PechaKucha is a fun\, fast-paced evening filled with energy and excitement! \nSome of our expected speakers include Detroit TEDx lead Charlie Wolborg\, The Green Amendment’s Bill Knapp\, City Sustainability pro Kat Hart\, GVSU Underwater Drone Pro Dr. Mark Gleason\, and many MANY others! \nJoin us for more than 10 speakers\, a cold beer\, a bit to eat\, and some after mid-term election excitement! Because there is a cost for using the space\, we ask for a $5-$10 donation if you’re able as well as a food and beverage purchase while attending.
