The conference, which, in addition to the above, included a sustainability tour of the zoo and concluded with a networking cocktail, received great accolades on LinkedIn as well as wonderful feedback from participants.
Presented by EACC Bridge Builder members Altix Consulting, Modula Inc. and MELINK Solar, and sponsored by Cincinnati METRO and TyTek Industries, who presented the first solar powered pump on the market, the event provided many insights and resulted in new contacts as well as potential business opportunities for participants.
