Join us for IdeaJAM: Spark innovation for a resilient future!
On February 26th from 4 PM to 7 PM, Union + Co and Northeastern’s The Roux Institute are hosting IdeaJAM—an interactive ideation event focused on developing new sustainable building materials to create a more resilient future. As climate change, resource scarcity, and aging housing stock present growing challenges, rethinking the materials we use in building is more important than ever. Sourcing materials locally will also play a crucial role in reducing carbon footprints, strengthening supply chains, and supporting regional economies.
The evening will feature an insightful panel discussion, a complimentary dinner, and dedicated time to collaborate, brainstorm, and generate innovative ideas with fellow community members.
Whether you’re a material scientist, architect, engineer, designer, sustainability enthusiast, or simply curious about this topic, this is your chance to connect, ideate, and help drive the future of resilient and sustainable building materials.
