Connected Local Economics Jams

What makes a thriving economy that builds connections between people and the places they live?

We had an engaging and interactive evening with economist, attorney, and award-winning author MICHAEL H. SHUMAN. Mr. Shuman shared his thoughts on economic development as it was practiced today and presented an alternative set of principles and practices focused on a local living economies approach, emphasizing local businesses and an entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports them.

After the presentation, The Design Nerds led the audience through a nerd jam! The audience broke into teams of 6–8 people and tackled ten different economic design challenges. A Design Nerd Jam is a tried, tested, and true method for collaborative brainstorming and innovation, with Collaborative Rapid Idea Generation, Participant Empowerment, and Fun as its cornerstones!
