At the February 2017 Providence Geeks, Saul Kaplan, Chief Catalyst of the Business Innovation Factory (BIF) is joining us to share BIF’s vision and initiatives. From BIF’s experience laboratories (which are transforming business and life) to their acclaimed BIF Summit, learn how Saul and his team are applying business model innovation to making the world a better place.

The event itself is FREE! Beverages and food are for sale at AS220’s excellent bar and restaurant.

Doors open at 5:30pm. Socializing, eating and drinking up until the 15 min presentation/q&a around 6:30. Afterwards, back to socializing, eating, drinking.

It’s totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and take off whenever! And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional, and frankly, the least of the festivities (that’s not say the food isn’t good – it’s actually great).

Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about start-ups, new devices, innovative business models, 3d printing, interaction design, social computing, digital art, web services. There is Wi-Fi so bring your connected device of choice.
