What happens when a Midwest city, founded on farming and manufacturing, emerges as a capital for tech and creativity? That city is now driven by the idea economy.
Join the Arts & Business Council of Chicago and moderator Genevieve Thiers – Sittercity founder, tech investor, and opera singer – and a panel of WeWork entrepreneurs as they discuss the core competencies shared among artists and entrepreneurs, and how business now needs the creative mind more than ever to spur innovation, in The Business Creative: Shared Traits of Artists and Entrepreneurs. This is a preview event for the A&BC’s March 20 luncheon, Arts & Business and Capital: Impact Investing in Chicago’s Creative Economy.
Panelists currently include:
