Information
Sometimes the hardest part of getting involved in a field isn't knowing what interests you, but knowing who to speak to, where to begin or how to take the next step. Led by Trajectory Labs, The Collaboration Exchange is designed to make those conversations easier to have in person. We're bringing together researchers, professionals, mentors, funders and organizations for an afternoon of structured introductions and dedicated face-to-face time.
Whether you have questions about a research direction, are looking for guidance or collaborators, or simply want to meet others working on similar challenges, this is a chance to have the conversations that can be difficult to arrange over email. We hope you'll leave with a few questions answered, some useful new connections and a clearer sense of where to go next.
