Our audio program about the Innovate for Vegas Foundation, our volunteers, our projects, our ideas, and how what we are working on will ideally impact our communities in and around Las Vegas in positive ways, while at the same time empowering our volunteers to make a difference, for their friends and neighbors and for themselves.
Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: With Greater Vegas suffering somewhat from a silo structure, intended or otherwise, we have had much to ponder concerning the way former brigades and newly-formed and forming cohorts of civic volunteers pursuing civic innovation could, maybe should collaborate.

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Civic Volunteerism, Civic Co-Creation, and now Civic Innovation. A lot of Civic stuff to talk about lately… LinksInnovate for Vegas Activity https://innovateforvegas.orgInnovate for Vegas Foundation https://innovateforvegas.foundationFrom One Perspective https://www.govtech.com/civic
Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: We have talked about Co-Creation before, as well as Civic Volunteerism and more recently Civic Innovation, now we can talk about bringing these together in Greater Vegas during CityCamp Las Vegas and the Smarter Smart City Challenge, and perhaps all of the time… LinksInnovate for Vegas Activity https://innovateforvegas.orgInnovate for Vegas Foundation https://innovateforvegas.foundationCo-Creation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-creation
Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: LinkedIn is not a good platform, we have covered this previously more than once, but we are going to give it one last try before our Unconference events coming up in September 2026 and January 2027, wherein we will find out if Follow & Forget is also Follow & Ignore… LinksInnovate for Vegas Activity https://innovateforvegas.orgInnovate for Vegas Foundation https://innovateforvegas.foundationInnovate for Vegas on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/innovate-for-vegas-foundationSmart City Vegas on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/smart-city-vegas
Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: So we have two unconference events upcoming, one hackathon style event in September 2026 and one year-long event commencing in January 2027. These will be planned with input from those who will participate, so the more the merrier in every sense, and that is a challenge in and of itself here in Greater Vegas.

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: We deferred the Smarter Smart City Challenge from this year to January 2027 so we get a full year to enable and encourage everybody. In the mean time, since CityCamp was a source of some ideas and inspiration, why not add CityCamp to our 2026 agenda?

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: These are not challenges like the Smarter Smart City Challenge, but the sorts of challenges an organization like ours, and maybe others, have to work around to get things done, to get the word out, and to get more people to reach an Ah Ha moment, lean in, and take part.

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Vegas is a strange place when it comes to inviting innovation. Well, the invitations are easy, it’s the RSVPs that appear to go missing… so let’s ponder some simple machines to help make this work.

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Word on the street, actual skill and ability, human interest, a desire to elevate community, all of it can be done with Artificial Intelligence. Or can it? Should it? LinksInnovate for Vegas Activity https://innovateforvegas.orgInnovate for Vegas Foundation https://innovateforvegas.foundation
