Thanks to the feedback of April and May Sticky City meeting attendees, we are trying to infuse these 90 minute sessions with more “expert” insight and opportunities for meaningful exchange of ideas across the region. Your ideas about how to use new media to make this more effective in real time would be much appreciated, although we don’t want to be in a situation where the vast majority of the activity is virtual. We are big fans of real live people talking to other real live people, too.
For those of you who couldn’t attend, check out our St. Louis spotlight. Thanks to PubDef founder, editor, and chief reporter Antonio French and his reporter, Kira Powell, our May meetings are featuring a videocast from St. Louis steward Joe Edwards. Joe is a business owner often credited as the force behind the transformation of the Delmar Loop neighborhood.
