Last Thursday, over one thousand entrepreneurs, business leaders, and students spent an invigorating afternoon in the Innovation District for BostInno's second annual State of Innovation Forum. The afternoon was jam-packed with hard-hitting panel discussions, amazing keynote speakers, and exclusive networking with Boston's brightest minds. See what you missed here and here.
In tandem, we hosted the first-ever Social Good (#SoGood) Awards, honoring the companies and individuals who are contributing to social good in Boston and beyond.
Nominations opened in May, and we announced the finalists before the event. The winners were selected by an expert panel of judges in conjunction with TUGG and were announced and honored live at the event. Congratulations to this year's 2014 #SoGood winners, presented by Teambonding. Learn more about them in the slideshow below.
