The non-profit group Florida Next hosted a gathering of some of the area's brightest entrepreneurial minds Wednesday night in an effort to develop ideas on improving life in the Bay Area.
The event was a cross between a town hall meeting and a fast pace brain storming session. Each participant was given 90 seconds to pitch an idea. Concepts varied widely, from travel packages marketed towards young professionals to homeless shelters that focused more on rehabilitating than housing. from Once every idea was presented the audience voted for their top three ideas and then split into groups to give more attention to the three most popular ideas and creating a defined plan on how to achieve each respective goal. Florida Next then keeps tabs on the plan, fostering communication and development.
