Impact Hub Houston is proud to bring you a monthly opportunity to come together to work on solutions for some of Houston’s most pressing issues. Our city is full of changemakers across all ages, cultures, skillsets, and industries. This is your chance to conned and collaborate for the greater good.

Open Project Night has been hosted across the Impact Hub global network for a few years, and we are carrying the torch locally to support #Changemakers, #SocialEntrepreneurs, and #ImpactSupporters in their efforts to create the change they wish to see in the world.

The Global Goals can only be met if we work together. Investments and support is needed to ensure innovative technological development, fair trade, and market access in Houston. To build a better world, we need to be supportive, empathetic, inventive, passionate, and above all, cooperative.

Here’s how it works:

• New theme each month in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• For the month of May we’ll be focusing on SDG#4 : Quality Education
• Anyone can sign up to participate (whether you have an idea/project or just want to provide feedback, advice, or support)
• 1-2 guest speakers will kick-off project presentations
• Open Mic for anyone else to pitch will follow (2 min max per pitch)
• Everyone moves to the virtual working room for open networking & collaboration
