#BetaBagels: A breakfast briefing with the Civic Service Design Studio at the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity

Time: Tuesday, 25 June, 8:30am-10:30am

Location: Office of the Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, 1 Centre Street (Manhattan Municipal Building), 19th Floor

RSVP: < https://betabagels003.eventbrite.com >

Details: Start your day off with us at Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer’s Office for our third #BetaBagels with the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity’s Service Design Studio. Meet a team that is spearheading new approaches to service delivery and effectively transforming NYC government from the inside out. We will eat bagels, sip coffee and learn how a design studio found its home in NYC government and uses innovative techniques to address social and economic challenges and support livelihoods in the city. We hope you will walk away inspired by their projects, with a new-found appreciation for the intersection of design, technology, civil society, and government. And of course, fueled for the day!
