This Week:
TellersBridge, in partnership with the Cedar Rapids Public Library, is launching Cedar Rapids’ first multi-day storytelling festival—an event designed to celebrate the power of live, personal storytelling. The festival will bring together storytellers, listeners, educators, and community members for performances, workshops, and open-mic opportunities. This collaboration combines TellersBridge’s mission of developing storytelling as a craft with the library’s commitment to community enrichment and lifelong learning.

About 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids
The Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups (1MC) on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. We welcome early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges to present their companies. Typically, one or several representatives present before a panel of experts. They seek advice and then engage the audience in a question-and-answer session to encourage collaborative and honest conversations. We also feature expert speakers, founder fireside interviews, and explorations of business failures and the lessons learned!
The Cedar Rapids chapter is the sixth in the U.S., Every event is free, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!
Join us on Wednesdays @ 9:00 a.m. at NewBoCo Each event features a presentation or conversation with a new founder, entrepreneur, business leader, subject matter expert, or creative. Find a list of upcoming events and presenters on our Calendar.
