<p><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#5E5E5E">The following questions were addressed and discussed by high profile designers:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#5E5E5E">How does design thinking apply to business models?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and collaboration will come together at the Melbourne Sustainability Jam (part of the global non profit initiative). Global participants will be jamming simultaneously from over fity cities; in Melbourne we will also have people from all walks of life, work
and motivation.<br>
<br>
Jams are about DOING, NOT TALKING!<br>
<br>
'Jammers' (as they are called) will gather in teams to work on a new project, be it an app, product, service, campaign, or anywhere passion is directed. Guided by facilitators & mentors, they will have to present their project to a panel of judges and the winner
will be awarded with 03 months of HubLite membership (valued at AU$3,000) with mentoring from GetViable.<br>
<br>
Tickets: AU$50<br>
Included - Food, drinks & stationary for whole event.<br>
