Reinvent America
In addition to our signature offline TechTables, T4A.org has partnered with Reinventors Network to virtually convene innovators and experts from across the country to come up with new solutions to some of America\'s most pressing challenges. The focus of these online TechTables will be on how we can develop the right technological foundation in this digital age to meet those challenges and make sure our entire society can thrive. This year-long series will be held on Google Hangouts and will be open to anyone to watch. We call the series Reinvent America.
Series Overview
The Reinvent America series is made up of a dozen virtual roundtables held every few weeks throughout 2014. The topics will span a broad range of issues. There are no shortage of problems we face today and technology and innovative thinking can play a big part in helping solve many of them. Each 90-minute session will be carried out over interactive group video and connect a diverse mix of experts, entrepreneurs, big thinkers and innovators, from wherever they are in the world. One prominent innovator (the anchor) will set the table with an important question which the whole group will then discuss. All of this is streamed to a live audience and afterwards edited into shorter clips that can be watched on the web and shared through social media. At any time the audience can actively engage the material and add their own ideas as part of the reinvention process.
