The first planting of topic arc seeds, to expound on topics, what works, and what does not, and what we can do about it.
Connecting the Last Mile, typically associated with delivery of goods and services from a local hub or central office to a destination at a business or residence, but today arguably including delivery of virtual goods and services via the internet including the ordering, tracking, and customer service aspects of those physical last mile deliveries.
How does the Last Mile relate to the Downtown Project, the effort in the Downtown Las Vegas area to change and uplift the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of the locale with some of the ingredients to transform a city into a Tech Hub.
What works about the Last Mile, and didn't work about the Downtown Project, and a few points in between, these are two great topics we hope to revisit with ongoing conversation with people who were there and did that, and where we can go next with what we've learned.
Specific reference to a Tech Cocktail talk given by Bambi Francisco in September 2014 in Downtown Las Vegas about this very thing, and the eight building blocks needed to make a Tech Hub.
