What is MIX?
Launching September 3, the Monthly Innovation eXchange (MIX) will take place on the 1st Wednesday of each month (except this month is on a Tuesday!)
MIX is a monthly gathering designed to spark collaboration, share ideas, and strengthen our innovation community. People from startups, industry, nonprofits, academia, government, creatives, entrepreneurs, researchers, civic leaders, and ecosystem partners come together to explore a rotating theme through lightning talks, small-group conversations, and informal networking. Whether you're launching a new venture, driving scientific discovery, or building community infrastructure, MIX is a space to connect, learn, and grow - together. Enjoy happy hour bites, meaningful dialogue, and the chance to get inspired by others shaping the future in and around our region.
