[Hidden-tech] Event 9/27 update: James Kitchen and Evan Plotkin to speak at Creative Placemaking and Tactical Urbanism Symposium

[Stacy Kontrabecki]

This was a great event! If you love where you live, you MUST attend next 
year. So glad I took a break from planning TEDxShelburneFalls to attend. 
A great complement to what we'll be doing here on 10/12. I think the 
speaker slides will be available at one of the Design Ventures social 
sites.

Kudos Lisa Hoag!
