Sharing the Minneapolis-Saint Paul tech community story with the world: How should we tell it?
by Tiffany Orth, Matt Lewis, Meg Steuer, Kelly Clausen, and Stephanie Rich | at MinneBar 14
Join the Make It. MSP. Tech Team and the Forge North coalition to co-create storytelling strategies and gain practical tips for how you can better promote our tech community. Help us explore ways to share what makes our tech community great: its talented and diverse individuals!
Minneapolis-Saint Paul’s (MSP) humble nature is an asset but it can also hold us back. It is vital for our region to step up and brag about our fantastic tech community. Partners in efforts like Make It. MSP., Forge North, Full Stack Saint Paul, DocuMNtary, and others have worked in recent years to discover how we can better tell our region’s tech story to the world. Through national outreach and ambassador training efforts, we have gained valuable insights into what tech professionals and others from around the country are looking for and what may encourage them to relocate to MSP.
