Community Voices: Bob Summers, Entrepreneurial Evangelist

Why does a high tech global entrepreneur like Bob choose to live and actively invest in Blacksburg instead of Cambridge or Silicon Valley? In his Community Voices talk, Bob Summers presents an enlightening vision of Blacksburg, a networked, open source community positioned to advance to the next tier of competitive excellence. What are the resources, the relationships, and the know how Bob sees? How are the Town, the University, and business working together? What has he learned in the TechPad space where collaboration and cooperation, idea sharing and resource exchange are defining a rich culture for innovation and creativity? Following Bob’s talk there is a Q&A period for audience members to engage with Bob.
