Shameless Soapbox - Connect Chch
Friday, November 25th
5pm - 7pm
Host: Michelle Whitaker


 A chance to chat to like minded people in the innovation/entrepreneur space doing stuff for GOOD. 

Join us from 5pm, then a Supergirl talk about 5.30pm followed by some fun 2min share your idea/venture on the soapbox and of course drinks and food.

This Shameless Soapbox includes a special speaker Camia Young. Come learn about her new venture: Ohu Development Ltd: A property development company set up to build communities by building buildings.

Camia designed the Summer Pallet Pavilion, co-founded the Christchurch Transitional Architecture Trust with the aim to celebrate the creativity that followed the earthquakes and engage people in creating the city they want to live in; co-created Studio Christchurch a collaborative program for tertiary students to come to Christchurch and develop projects related to the rebuild; and co-founded Exchange Christchurch a place to cultivate a creative ecology by providing people a place to produce, showcase and share their early stage creative practice and develop creative enterprises. This was all in 5 years!
