Official event description:

The internet and mobile technologies have forever changed the way we see and interact with the world. Today, we have simple, yet powerful tools to connect and share with friends, colleagues, potential collaborators and new employers. How can these tools foster innovation and be used by groups and individuals to change the world we live in? This year’s TechTonic event at Western Washington University will take a look at how technological innovation drives the entrepreneurial spirit through a series of 60 lightning round on topics ranging from the latest mobile tools to creating successful Kickstarter campaign.

TechTonic 2015 will be on Tuesday, April 14th in the Wilson Library from 11am – 3pm. This free event is open to both students and the general public.
