After months of location selection and setup, I’m most excited for tonight’s opening of the community and co-working space The HUB at Berkeley’s David Brower Center. The LEED certified space will include lectures, screenings, and innovation labs as part of the global social action-oriented HUB network. The Bay Area launch is set to include a panel on media and capital with Matt Flannery of Kiva.org, Steve Newcomb of Virgance, and Ben Rattray of Change.org. Should be a great kickoff to this fall’s second Social Capital Markets conference (SOCAP09).
