What an amazing event to have so many people share their ideas comfortably. No secrets, sharing what I’m doing well, what’s exciting, where I see things going…it’s a game changer...I think this is where change happens.
Beyond grateful for DU and the amazing opportunities I have been provided through this program and partnership with the Housing Innovation Alliance!
With the caliber of people that attended, there were so many rapid ideas flowing! It was conversations and ideas at scale!
I love the broad scope of disciplines the Alliance engages and the interactive discussions and idea sharing that ensues.
One of the characteristics I find of this audience is a shared curiousity about new strategies, new ways of doing business. There's an openness to conversation and I think that's a really healthy culture for our group.
