Rhode Island Nexus

The Business Innovation Factory is reminding people that there are only two days left to buy discounted tickets to the nonprofit’s sixth annual Collaborative Innovation Summit, BIF-6.

BIF-6 will be held on Sept. 15 and 16 at the Trinity Repertory Co. in Providence. Tickets for the event cost $1,200 for those who register by Wednesday, and $1,500 after that. BIF members can send up to five guests to the event.

RI Nexus Open Coffee is an informal get-together of technology entrepreneurs, a bi-weekly chance to talk shop, swap resources and connections, and get caffeinated. Whether you drop in for 15 minutes or are the last two at the tables, you'll get a unique chance to spend quality time with the best and brightest in the City-State startup community.

Please note that we are moving to Wednesdays! Hope to see you all there.

Jimmie P Rodgers is going to be in town for the whole month of June doing an Artist in Residence gig at AS220. We figured while he was in town, we'd grab him to give an overview talk on circuit bending. Unfortunately, we don't have the time for a whole workshop, but you'll get enough info so you can head home and try it out on your own.

Announcing the 15th Pecha Kucha night in Providence!  The theme is TBD and suggestions are most welcome.  If you haven't yet heard of this global yet unpronounceable phenomenon, Pecha Kucha is a monthly format for sharing ideas, in which presenters are allotted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. Put simply: 6 minutes and 40 seconds of adult-style show & tell. It began in Tokyo in 2003, has since spread to over 300 cities worldwide, and landed in Providence last March.

When: Wednesday, June 2nd - doors open at 7:20pm, presentations start at 8:20pm
Where: AS220, 115 Empire Street, Providence
