Rhode Island has always had a strong connection to the ocean and the industries surrounding it
like tourism & recreation, marine trades, and fisheries.
“The Blue & You” Summer Speaker Series will provide information that will help citizens
understand what the blue economy is and how it impacts them.
From real people who make their living on the water, to creative problem solving around
complex issues, the Blue & You sessions will inform and inspire.
“The Blue & You” summer speaker series will take place at Innovate Newport on Thursday
mornings throughout the summer. (8:30-10 a.m.) Start your day off with coffee and conversation
around interesting topics that impact all of us.
