The Future of the Sharing Economy, December 5 at 6 p.m.

The gig economy has changed the way we think about work, resource-sharing and employment — and that impact will only continue to grow. So what’s next?

Denver Women in Digital Holiday Party and Fundraiser, December 6 at 6 p.m.

Looking for ways to give back this holiday season? Join Denver Women in Digital for an ugly holiday sweater party with a heart. Everyone is invited, and all tickets sales and proceeds benefit Dress for Success Denver, a nonprofit organization that provides interview clothing, employment retention programs and support for low-income women seeking employment.

 

Misty Robotics - Robot Programming Workshop, December 6 at 6 p.m.

Developers, get hands-on with Misty Robotics’ Misty II robot and get a crash course in the tech that powers her.

Just bring your laptop and curiosity.
