event leads the way with ideas worth spreading from Maine’s brightest
innovators and change-makers.  The  inaugural theme, Frontier, pays homage
to Maine’s continued legacy of being a boundary between what man previously

to the edge of previous knowledge, habits and burgeoning understanding – at
times uncomfortable but always exhilarating. Apply online to attend:
