Spreenkler Meetup on Design, Technology, Startups and Innovation.

Spreenkler Meetup Moves To Wednesday, April 18th

Why? To partner with our friends at Newaukee and their first-ever event, Young Professional Week, which takes place April 16-21 ( http://www.YPWeek.com ).

The week showcases and celebrates Milwaukee's young professional organizations and topics. The Spreenkler Meetup falls within YP Week's focus on innovation (full schedule (http://www.ypweek.com/#!schedule)).

This will be a great way to introduce more young professionals to our diverse Spreenkler community and expose them to the innovative people, places and companies in Milwaukee!

OUR FEATURED SPEAKER: Carmel Hagen, CMO of Boulder, Colorado based COMMON.

COMMON (http://www.common.is/) is a collaborative brand and creative community for accelerating social change. Founded in January of 2011 by Alex Bogusky, John Bielenberg and Rob Schuham, COMMON supports, connects and celebrates those designing a new era of socially-minded enterprise.

COMMON hosts “pitch” events to celebrate and showcase entrepreneurs with world-changing business concepts. They’ve held COMMON Pitch in Boulder, New York, South Africa and have SELECTED MILWAUKEE AS THEIR 4TH PITCH CITY!

The focus of COMMON Pitch Milwaukee is American innovation and is part of Milwaukee Innovation Week (http://innovationinmilwaukee.com/events/milwaukee-innovation-week) (coming in June).

WE NEED YOU! If you have an idea that will reinvent America, go here NOW: www.COMMONPitchMKE.com (http://www.CommonPitchMKE.com/).

MiKE Intern Social Mixer

In conjunction with YP Week, the Spreenkler Meetup will also host a mixer to help prospective interns connect with companies looking to fill internships. Students in advertising, design, business, and software engineering from area colleges will be able to casually meet decision makers from Milwaukee's most creative and innovative companies.

STUDENTS: If you want to meet people from the biggest, best-known brands, ultra creative agencies and kick ass startups, BE HERE!

EMPLOYERS: It’s never been easier to meet talented students. If you’ve never hired an intern, no worries. We’ll help you with that and connect you to other employers who have. C’mon, this not only helps your company, but is important to the future of our city! So GET HERE!

YPNation Tour 2012 is launching in Milwaukee during YP Week!

And they want to hear from you! YPNation’s mission is to unify and amplify the voice of America’s Young Professionals on the key issues impacting their future. They’ll be hanging out at the Meetup and they’d love to hear what you think are important issues for YPs.

Check YPNation.com for updates and videos as they facilitate a national conversation on the shared challenges, concerns, and matters affecting the YP community.
