Perspectives on Seattle's Innovative Role in ICT4D

When: Monday, May 12
Where: Seattle Impact HUB, 220 Second Ave South, Seattle WA 98104
Time: 6.30-8.30pm

Please join the Society for International Development at the Seattle Impact HUB for a panel discussion to explore the city's unique contribution to the field of Information Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D). By bringing together three members of the development community with diverse experience in ICT4D, we not only hope to celebrate their innovative work but deepen the connection between local development professionals interested in how ICT is playing an increasingly important role in development. 

Our panelists: 

John Beale, Director of Strategic Development & Group Lead at VillageReach
Cliff Schmidt, Founder of Literacy Bridge
John Tippett, Director of Mobile Health Innovation at the Grameen Foundation

Come and participate in a lively conversation moderated by Preston Thompson, founder of the management consulting firm, VentureScale, and explore Seattle's Impact HUB downtown. 

This is a great opportunity to network with other professionals in the development and social entrepreneurship spaces and we look forward to seeing you on May 12th!
