INNO

In May of 2019, Mac spoke at INNO, a global innovation conference focused on collaboration between startups and corporations, hosted between Jazz Fest weekends in New Orleans. This inaugural INNO conference saw compelling, up-to-the minute conversations and compelling speakers within the themes of innovation, collaboration, disruption, and community building.

Mac’s presentation was titled Human Better: Changing Communities Through Acts of Play, and was one of the many highlights that included presentations from Oracle, IBM, Facebook, Coca-Cola, Revelry, Civics Unplugged, Visa, and Twitch. By the end of the conference, we not only created connections and friendships that continue to this day – we demonstrated to ourselves that the work we do matters, and that it has much broader application, import, and impact than we had previously imagined.
