Title: Diversity in Entrepreneurship

By leveraging some of the brightest and most diverse minds in Austin and from throughout the nation, Urban Co-Lab builds community for people who are looking to create scalable impact. Urban Co-Lab is missioned by the belief that innovation can stem from anywhere and is committed to fostering collaboration within our local community and creating space for diversity in entrepreneurship and beyond. Often cited as the one of the fastest growing cities, Austin also carries the weight of being the most economically segregated metro area in the country. Join us for an exclusive panel moderated by Urban Co-Lab Co-founder and COO, Hanna Jamal, on the importance of developing a more diverse and inclusive business community with some of our featured member organizations!

Date/Time: Wednesday, July 27 from 12:30-1:30 PM

Location: Urban Co-Lab is located at 1818 E 12th St, Austin, TX 78702 (https://goo.gl/maps/VTBHgBGA26P2). The building entrance is located directly on the corner of 12th and Chicon St. Street parking is available, and/or the gated parking lot across the corner from the building is also available for complimentary use.
