James Barlow, Director of the Entrepreneurial Leadership Program and Inge Milde, ELP faculty and manager of the Tufts $100k Business Plan competition will help drive the ideation process.
What exactly is an ideation session?
Ideation is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas. So, at this ideation session, we will be using exercises, brainstorming techniques, and other mind opening activities in order to get thinking creatively. While the first half of the event will be dedicated to coming up with off-the-wall ideas, the second half will be focused on diving deeper on a few ideas and thinking about how we could bring them to fruition.
We hope that from this event, we will be able to take a handful of ideas to the next level and maybe even make a submission to the Business Plan Competition! And of course, there will be pizza!
So, what do you need?
• A Notebook
• A Pencil/pen
• An open mind!
Can’t wait to see you there!

On Friday November 9th the former Salvation Army in Cambridge will be taken over by twelve artists for a one night only art event. Events like these are becoming more prevalent in Boston and with no surprise. Often this is were we find the most inventive work being show. Thanks to MIT for providing this space, prepare yourselves for an incredible new art exhibition. The work shown will stretch across medium, including photography, sculptures, painting, drawing, printmaking, installation, and video.

OUI’re BACK!
Last Wednesday YES.OUI.SI., formally known as Boston’s Multi-Sensory exhibition space re-launched as a new type of production company.
In one eight-hour day The Brand Hack team revisioned YES.OUI.SI. from concept to design. The entire process took place in public and offered the community an opportunity to engage in our pivot in to the future.
Our main goal was to ready YES.OUI.SI. for its new mission as a multi-sensory exhibition production company, outfitting it with a new logo, a business plan audit, a social media and partnership strategy, and web design.
