The Buzz Behind Collaborate
The small, but mighty Fosterly team is putting the finishing touches on its much-anticipated Collaborate conference, a two-day event with 1,000 attendees starting Friday. It brings together government and entrepreneurs to talk innovation. It’s a first for the organization, launched by Adam Zuckerman a few years ago, inspired by having a federal government thirsty for innovative solutions. Some of the rock stars recruited to speak: US CTO Megan Smith, Google X co-founder Tom Chi, AngelList GC Ken Nguyen and Expensify CEO David Barrett. It also includes workshops, pitch events, a media match (where you can meet Bisnow tech reporter Tania Anderson and other business press), and a booth to get a professional photo taken.
