Inspired Engagement:

Where Cities Meet the Water

October 5, 2010

The water's edge isn't just the focus of this latest salon from 7Story - it is also the location! Join us at IDEO's beautiful waterfront headquarters as we explore innovative ways cities around the globe are engaging people at the water. Our eclectic panel will take us on a worldwide tour of the urban beaches, bluffs, parks and waterfronts they find most inspiring and share their perspectives on what makes them so successful. Discussion and debate to follow.
