Events and Activities : County-Wide Open Coffee - Everyone Invited!‏

What is an Open Coffee?

Simply put, it's an opportunity for citizens in a community to get together to discuss topics that can help develop their respective entrepreneurial communities.  An open forum to discuss innovation, entrepreneurship, tech, start-ups, job markets, diversity, education, economic development, and so on...the discussion is created by those that attend!

Currently, the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area both host these type of events on a regular basis.  Those involved in the 7 county, Kirkwood served region, called "The Creative Corridor," are hoping to expand these events throughout the region to reach out to anyone who would like to discuss new and innovative ideas or improve on already existing opportunities.

One Open Coffee event will be held in each of the 7 Creative Corridor Counties (Benton, Linn, Jones, Iowa, Johnson, Cedar, Washington) during Creative Week (October 19-26). 

If we see an interest in the Benton County Open Coffee, we will likely hold these on a monthly basis. 

Please share this invite with anyone in Benton County (clients, friends, family, small business friends) that you think might be interested!
