Description

This week's presenter: Alan Murdock from The Log ProjectThe Log Project is a collaborative arts project working to "tell the story of the storm," that is, the Iowa Derecho of August 10, 2020. When environmental catastrophes impact a community people need an opportunity to slow down and to come together to recognize what has happened. They need an opportunity to record the individual stories that make up the larger narrative. Media and reporting address the facts, but only collective art projects can capture lived experience.About 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids is a free, weekly program that happens nationwide designed to educate, engage, and connect entrepreneurs. Developed by the Kauffman Foundation, 1MC is based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. Early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges are welcome to present their companies to a panel of experts for advice, and engage the audience in a question-and-answer session to encourage collaborative and honest conversations. We also feature expert speakers, founder fireside interviews, and exploration of business failures and the shared learning that comes from those failures. 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids is led by a group of passionate volunteers: Jourdan McChesney (NewBoCo)Eric Engelmann (Iowa Startup Accelerator)Laura Gansemer (Office Evolution)Rina Jensen (Rina Jensen.com)Julie Lammers (America's SBDC)Emily Bettridge (Groundswell Cafe)Jessica Abdoney (NewBoCo)Jennifer Murphy (NewBoCo)Sponsors1MCCR is sponsored by local companies and organizations that support our entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem:
