Caffeinate/Innovate: Harrisonburg International Festival

Caffeinate/Innovate is a monthly, free community event we hold at The Perch Coworking Space in order to bring energizing people and ideas together over coffee and conversation. Each month we bring in a guest (local/regional innovator!) to share stories and spark contagious ideas! 


Here is a bit of what to expect from the morning: 
8–8:15 am Networking and Coffee Sippin'
8:15–8:45 am Panel-style conversation with Amanda Presgraves or Kirsten Moore
8:45–9 am  Audience Q+A

Join us for Caffeinate/Innovate on Thursday Sept. 29th from 8a-9a as we hear from the team behind Harrisonburg’s International Festival (HIF)!

The HIF is one of our town’s most popular events. The festival celebrates the diversity of Harrisonburg by providing a friendly forum in which cultural groups can showcase their cultural and linguistic values as a means to educate the larger community and to support awareness for their presence and contribution.

We are so fortunate to be joined by Ingrid Manning and Boris Ozuna - two of the organizers behind the scenes of HIF - as we discuss innovation around event planning, cultural community-building and the impact of nonprofits.
