Storytellers Welcome: IX Cities Tour Begins

GUEST POST from Julie Anixter

Let’s Recap: We began last Monday night in New York City. Here’s what happened and what we’re taking away…(Peter Thum, founder of Fonderie47 and Liberty United tells his story above.)

300 people showed up at Material ConneXion’s amazing midtown digs and material science library, and thanks to a whole host of sponsors and partners – Ommegang beers and Deep Eddy Vodka’s Moo-tini’s and Moo-politans – the mood and conversation flowed. And so did the stories.

This is the first in a series of reports about what we’re doing and learning on our Innovation Cities Tour and it starts with four rather startling things we’re discovering through our Story Exchanges about the role of stories innovation.
