Kevin brings deep expertise in advanced fabrication, safety systems, and the operational discipline required to build at the edge of innovation.

📅 Date: Wednesday, April 22nd

⏰ Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

🥪 Lunch will be provided

📍Location: North Rockwell Venture Lounge (638 S. Sherwood St., Fort Collins, CO 80521)

In our conversation with Kevin, we will explore the realities of building in high-stakes, high-tech environments—from equipment and inventory management to troubleshooting complex prototypes and maintaining safe, functional creative spaces. We’ll also dive into the mindset required to succeed as a builder, including the mental fortitude shared by entrepreneurs and performers, and the balance between independence, visibility, and collaboration.

The session will begin with a short, interactive “Adjacent Possible” visioning exercise to ground the room, followed by a 45-minute conversation and open Q&A. Bring your questions, as most of the session will be devoted to discussion. This is a unique opportunity to learn from someone who operates behind the scenes of some of the world’s most ambitious innovation projects.

Free and open to everyone - can't wait to see you there!
