You're invited to the next Share, Mingle & Inspire meetup: Placemaking! 

- Creating safe and attractive places,
with a bottom up approach -


How can a place be made safe, attractive and inclusive? Places to love and connect to, places that promotes happiness, health and well-being?

The concept of Placemaking is about developing, managing and marketing places, collaborating and involving local people and other stakeholders in creating better, safer and more attractive places.

Join us at Openlab for the next ‘Share, Mingle & Inspire’ and listen to short inspiring stories about how placemaking creates value and attraction in urban settings. You will meet inspiring speakers from different fields - companies, researchers, public sector officials and innovators - who will share their experiences in this topic!

Presentation format - ‘Five by five’

You might have heard about the PechaKucha presentation format. At ‘Share, Mingle and Inspire‘ we use a similar, speedy and efficient presentation format - five by five.

Every presenter will get five minutes and five slides to share their story and spark your interest. After the presentations there is time for questions, mingle and networking with speakers and attendees.

Openlab and Open Innovation

Openlab is a creative space that brings people together to find innovative solutions to challenges we face as a society. Our event series ‘Share, Mingle and Inspire’ is centred around open innovation and will give guidelines how to share. Openlab is in favour of open innovation because we believe business and innovation are going in that direction and that we are also forced by societal and technological change to do so. 

So, why not start with attending ‘Share Mingle and Inspire’ and be part of the movement and the Openlab community. You will get surprised how many people will support and share their experience with you and how it will profit your own goals.

Feeling lucky?

'Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.' Seneca

Every meetup will also have a lottery where you can win nice prices. As (quote of someone successful person): ‘Becoming successful you need also a bit of luck!’

Join us here! 

Please send an email to ida.niskanen@openlab.se if you want to be one of the presenters and share your story about Placemaking!
