Event Details

Hub & What?

Hub & spoke, that's what.  Hosted by Hub Ottawa, this is a new series of events that aims to accelerate positive social change.

Hub & Spoke has two main objectives:

1.  Showcase innovation in Ottawa

2.  Bust silos by building the networks  and relationships that can accelerate new ideas.

Why now? Why this?

Ottawa is home to numerous innovative initiatives, enterprises and communities of practice, all striving to create a better city and a better world.  Unfortunately, all these creative, driven people rarely meet.  And their great work never gets properly showcasd.  Innovation suffers because people can't share ideas.  As Canada's capital and a G8 capital, Ottawa must do better to create opportunities for innovation.

Know who'd love this?

If you're open to exploring new ideas to make the city and the world a better place, then these events are for you.  Anyone with the desire, drive and ingenuity to experiment, innovate and find new ways to address our pressing challenges is welcome.


The Event

Part 1

Five invited speakers will each take a few minutes to share how their initatives (both established and emerging) are building a better world and creatively addressing a specific challenge.

Part 2

Using "purposeful" networking techniques, the Hub team will connect people with great ideas to other people with other great ideas.  We'll also introduce you to collaborators, innovators and entrepreneurs who can help make it happen.
