Lecture: The Entrepreneurs
Join us for the next in our lecture series featuring four speakers giving four talks in forty minutes. This month’s topic:
“The Entrepreneurs”
Ideas are important. Yet as ideas evolve from thoughts to action to revenue, what insights can we gain? With new projects under their belts and major successes underway, entrepreneurs at every stage have a great deal to offer. Hear from four different founders’ perspectives on topics from persistence, engaging with people, the rate of change and growth, the role of unencumbered luck, and more. Join us in an evening considering new possibilities.

About the Lecture Series
The Dot Dot Dot Lecture Series is meant for broad explorations of interaction design, business, and aesthetic inspiration. Practitioners and thought leaders give short talks in an informal setting. Wisdom will be revealed and methods will be shared in a environment intended to satisfy both social and scholarly pursuits.
About the MFA Interaction Design Program
The new MFA in Interaction Design is an inventive two-year program that trains students to intimately understand how design can affect human behavior, and to think more holistically about the products and services they’re creating. The program explores the strategic role of interaction design in shaping everyday life, and intends to increase the relevancy of design to business and society so designers can make a difference.
