It used to be a given that you need to move to center like Silicon Valley to have a successful startup. Not so much anymore. This panel is about the people who are creating centers of innovation all over North America and how they are doing it.

Woohoo - How about Santa Cruz, can it be done there? We'll have to attend the panel to see! Looking forward to it.

Any idea who else will be on the panel?

I really hope by "all over North America" that includes places that aren't just on the east and west coast or one or two big cities in Canada.

Anyone know of a cool mid-sized town/city to relocate to? I am looking for a college-type town to relocate to with creative, fun atmosphere. I just graduated from college and am looking for a change in atmosphere. I am interested in technology and innovation however, I do not believe I would enjoy the rush (and cost) of the bay area, CA. I also enjoy sports and music venues. I think the smaller, more personal/creative city is more my style. Cambridge, MA is similar to the type of city i'm looking for. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you have already chosen the perfect answer - Cambridge MA. So go there...or It is a very culturally diverse town with both vintage charm and modern amenities. You can find a great place to live on a limited budget and is even better of you're an artist. It is super close to Lake Michigan so there are many beaches. There are a ton of exhibits and fairs. It's like downtown Chicago living but without the traffic hassle.An exciting town!
Do it today!
