We’re excited to announce our next Sustainable Innovation Meet Up on Tuesday, October 21, from 8–9:30 AM at Cahoots.
This month’s theme is Designing for Impact: Sustainable Architecture, Urban Design, and Materials Innovation, featuring guest speaker Jen Maigret, Professor of Architecture and Director of Climate Futures at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College.

Jen is a registered architect whose teaching, research, and design practice explore how architecture can create more sustainable and resilient futures through climate-responsive buildings, equitable urban design, and innovative materials. We’re thrilled to learn from her perspective on how design choices ripple out to shape both people and planet.
Here’s our format:
- 8:00–8:30 AM – Coffee and conversation
- 8:30–9:00 AM – Featured talk
- 9:00–9:30 AM – Q&A and more networking
Join us to start your morning with ideas, inspiration, and community.
And don’t forget: if you’re looking for even more sustainability inspiration, the Sustainable Future Forum takes place this Monday, September 29.
Hope to see you at one — or both!
Grateful
A big thank you to Ann Arbor SPARK and the Green Business Challenge for their continued support of the Sustainable Innovation Meet Up, and to Bill Crane for his partnership in co-hosting these gatherings.
