This Week on Instagram: IHCC Celebrations, a Wedding and a Big Name

It was a week to celebrate at 1871, as we marked the conclusion of the second IHCC/1871 Joint Incubator, wished a coworker well on her upcoming nuptials and welcomed internationally renowned author Doris Kearns Goodwin to our space. 

 

#DailyGreg . "Full circle moments are dope. I think of them as a moment thats built up over time and when it's finally time to rise to the occasion, you're ready to handle it with confidence. " . "Over my three years of knowing @JeanneReidy, 1871s VP of Events and Content, she's consistently knocked out these standup interviews that she shoots with @paulmatian our videographer." . "Bearing in mind Jeanne's history with the @chicagoMayor's office, this photo of her interviewing her former boss made for a special photo." - @m0t1ey

#DailyGreg . "This is an old team shot of @Black.Spectacles from earlier this year. Marc is an great guy so when he asked for a photo I figured the least I could do was try to make him look good (let me tell you, not an easy task ;) ). Black Spectacles has slowly taken over the reserved space as they continue to grow and expand (which is always DOPE)." . "Shoots with member companies allow me to flex my creative muscles and help make their startup come to life with vibrant images. I like that. A lot. " - @m0t1ey

Shout out to Recruiting Manager @lolo1109 for giving remarks at @harrispolicy's final #SummerOfImpact series talk tonight. @uchicago's Professor Jens Ludwig gave a talk on the potential--and pitfalls--of #MachineLearning being used in #PublicPolicy. Now is a great time to mention @harrispolicy's evening MA program at 1871, right?

#DailyGreg . "One of my favorite events from last October was the Mayor Of London visiting 1871." . "I like the staircase on 13 because there are some elements of natural light, but for this frame you can tell it was an all hands on deck day. Howard leading the tour with board members Laura Ferris Anderson and Jim O'Connor Jr. plus them being tailed by myself and Paul for photo and video PLUS outside media--the day was one word: busy." - @m0t1ey

#TalkToJeanne . Chelsea Collier's career is impressive to say the least. She has worked in economic development and social impact, at a tech startup and in government and, as she says, that all falls under the umbrella of Smart Cities. . As one of ten fellows in the 2016 Zhi-Xing China Eisenhower Fellowship, she researches Smart Cities in the U.S. and China, aligning public and private sector leaders with technology to address some of the world's largest challenges at a local level. . During her stop in town, she led a discussion on Chicago's Smart City initiatives featuring remarks from @chicagosmayor. Panelists included the city's Chief Data Officer Tom Schenk, @uchicago’s Charlie Catlett, @CodeForAmerica's Chris Whitaker and @verizon’s Sean Harrington. -- @jeannereidy

#DailyGreg . "Pretty sure this frame was from a #1871TGIF, may have even been Communication Manager @Mixswasko's first one? Not sure." . "Mick is a character but I remember him looking out the window and snapped this. Weirdly, this photo actually never even saw it to the light of day because I was unable to post process it to a point where I was happy...until today." - @m0t1ey
