One of the best things I love about
attending conferences is meeting new people and finding out about
the amazing work that they do. It is fortifying.
When my friend,
Lauren, tagged
me and a person named Jason Williams on a post, suggesting we
connect while attending the Collision technology conference in
Toronto, I quickly did some Google sleuthing to find out more about
the person I was about to meet.
Once I did that, I *knew* I
had to get some time for a mini-interview with Jason.
Jason is the Executive
Director for Centric, a 501c3 nonprofit that connects, educates and
celebrates Indiana's problem solvers. Centric exists to increase
the recognition of Indiana as a global center of
innovation.
From their initial
gatherings in 2007, Jason and his crew have built an incredible
community of people and companies that spans industries and creates
serendipity that may never occur otherwise.
I sat down with Jason to
get to know him better and to make the most of Collision
conference, where I wanted to ask entrepreneurs
and tech leaders about community, trust, and technology. I hope you
enjoy!
