The challenges of the 21st century will be solved at the level of the city. And every city is facing its own unique set of challenges. But cities are also striving to become not just smarter, but more inclusive, and more lovable. This conversation explores what people love about Billings, what they’d love to love, and how they might co-create a more lovable city.
The Lovable City conversation will take place nationwide during October 2019, with engaged residents hosting dinners with six to ten guests, guiding conversations that get to the heart of what makes their city lovable.
Insights from these conversations will be collected by survey both before and after the conversations and will be compiled in The Lovable City report. This report, will present valuable insights to inform future planning and policymaking at a city level.

Startup Weekend

Your idea in 54 hours
Do you have an idea you’d like to pursue or a problem you’d like to solve but don’t know where to start or who to start with?
Techstars Startup Weekend is the place to look for a team, create a prototype of your idea, validate your business idea, and receive feedback from experienced entrepreneurs, all in one weekend.
What do you need to bring?
Lots of energy! You’ll pitch your own idea or listen to others, then vote on the most interesting ideas and form teams with diverse skill sets. You can come with friends, but you’ll get the full experience if you participate in separate teams. Remember, it’s all about the team.
Your idea should be something you have not previously worked on. The idea you pitch and the problem you set out to solve can span social, educational, financial, environmental, or other issues. Over the course of the weekend you’ll be challenged to create a prototype of your MVP, or minimum viable product, that fits the needs of your target customer. You’ll get feedback, iterate, and likely pivot your approach entirely! Important: You cannot have worked previously on your idea.
Techstars Startup Weekend is a full weekend long experience. Your ticket includes:
7 full (and delicious) meals over the course of the weekend
Benefits and discounts from our global partners
One-on-one time with amazing mentors
A new network of developers, designers, and entrepreneurs eager, like you, to change the world.
All the internet and coffee you can consume.
