EVENT DETAILS

How has sharing culture changed the way we do public service? How can co-working spaces and incubators be leveraged to support public service organizations?
 Bridge at Wagner and Wagner's Office of Career Services present a lively panel discussion on how sharing culture is disrupting typical models of philanthropic work. Participants will learn how sharing culture can be leveraged for social change, the challenges social entrepreneurs (and entrepreneurs in general) face in a shared space environment, and what resources can help new startups be successful in a coworking space.
Light refreshments will be served, sponsored by Wagner's Office of Career Services

Dave connects dots. In Dave's world, these dots include everything from people to organizations to opportunities to ideas. For the first 18 years of his career, Dave connected people to healthy lifestyles as a personal trainer and managing partner in a health club. He then turned his attention to the tech world, where he connected new ideas to help solve new (and old) problems, launching four successful technology start-ups.
From there, he connected his biggest dots yet - the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto with his hometown of New York City (ask him to tell you the story if you see him, he loves telling it!). Dave now presides over the dots at CSI NYC as Managing Director, where he's committed to connecting nonprofits and social entrepreneurs to the supports they need to create lasting change. By the time Dave's done, there will be no more lonely dots - just a web of connections criss-crossing the world.
