#ideasweek

Doblin is one of four design and innovation practices supporting the Trust’s collaboratories initiative during Chicago Ideas Week. The six ideas being explored during Chicago Ideas Week originated from the Trust’s On the Table initiative in May that brought together more than 11,500 participants for mealtime conversations at nearly 1,100 tables throughout Chicagoland. Discussions focused on how to collaboratively build and maintain strong, safe and dynamic communities and generated nearly 1,000 ideas that the Trust and its advisors narrowed down to six ideas for further exploration.

After Chicago Ideas Week, the Trust’s six idea working groups will continue to refine and develop more sustainable plans. In April 2015, each of the Trust’s working groups will have the opportunity to pitch their proposals to a panel of potential investors and influencers in the hopes of securing support for the implementation of their ideas moving forward.

To be a part of this exciting initiative, purchase tickets on the Chicago Ideas Week website.
