ThinkTEC Innovation Summit Presentation
By robert | February 11, 2009
Enjoyed sharing some thoughts on creative industries, innovation and economic development this morning at ThinkTEC’s Innovation Summit conference. While I was scheduled to be part of a panel discussion at 2 pm today…..this morning’s presentation was a last minute deal due to the unfortunate fact that the planned keynote speaker, Amy Holloway from Avalanche Consulting in Austin, got knocked down with the flu. There’s no replacing Amy, as she’s a expert in the field and one of the architects of Charleston’s regional growth plan (she’s authored plans for cities around the country). But with her and Steve Warner’s help from CRDA I pulled together enough material to share and keep the crowd awake (I think/hope).

Thanks to all at ThinkTEC and the attendees.

You did a fantastic job filling in for Amy. Your leadership and guidence of the creative industries will be one of the main reasons that Charleston is seen as a major hub of creativity. You rock!
