COLLIDER FOLLOWERS:
This is a new Venue, we are going to switch up the facility, but the AFRL SB Hub is not going away! We are going to have our Colliders at various locations around the Dayton area. For this Collider we are going to have it at the beautiful Arcade Innovation Hub. The Arcade Innovation Hub, powered by PNC Bank, was created to serve as the regional nexus for the new venture creation and social innovation that will lead to a more vibrant and inclusive regional economy.
The vision for the Hub began in 2015, when the University of Dayton and the Entrepreneurs’ Center organically developed a mutually beneficial strategic relationship combining the strengths and capabilities of each partner to create synergies for students and small businesses. That vision came to life in 2021, when the Hub began operations in the historic Dayton Arcade.
More detailed information on how to get to The Hub and Parking will be sent out once we get closer to the date.
