Burlington South End Innovation District Meeting 07/07/2022

From the City of Burlington:

Having more housing located close to jobs, schools and other amenities is an important need in Burlington and across Vermont. The South End’s Enterprise District is home to a big collection of jobs—artists and makers, entrepreneurs, and companies large and small—and is a well-loved destination to explore local creations of all kinds. The Enterprise District, however, doesn’t allow housing of any kind.

We’re exploring how parking lots and underutilized sites near the Pine & Lakeside intersection could be re-envisioned to be vibrant places that enhance and preserve the South End spirit that we love, include homes, and overall help make the District more economically resilient and environmentally sustainable.

Greater Burlington Women's Forum: Women In Tech - Where Have all The Women Gone? 11/15/2018

In 1985, 37% of computer science bachelor degree recipients in the U.S. were women. By 2016, that number had dropped to 19%.* In Vermont, it’s even lower: a scant 14% of computer science program graduates from UVM and Vermont state colleges identify as female.**

Those declining numbers play out in the workforce: in 2017, only 26% of all professional computing occupations were held by women. And the percentage of women in leadership positions in technology is small, and it isn’t growing very quickly. What’s going on here? Listen to a panel of professional women in technology careers tell their stories. Find out how they got where they are today, what some of the obstacles were along the way, and how they overcame those obstacles.

Panelists include:

  • Sam Roach-Gerber of Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET)
  • Lisa Dion, Professor in the University of Vermont Computer Science department
  • C.D. Mattison, Principal UX Architect & Designer at Social Sentinel, Inc.
  • Meghan Purvis, Scrum Master at Dealer.com/Cox Automotive, Inc.

IEEE International Conference on the Edges of Innovation: Aritra Banerjee - Higher Efficiency RF Power Amplifiers in CMOS 10/24/2015

2015 IEEE International Conference on the Edges of Innovation for Smarter Cities with presenter Aritra Banerjee, Texas Instruments, speaks about Higher Efficiency RF Power Amplifiers in CMOS.

IEEE offers an exceptional opportunity to interact with industry leaders, engineering experts, scientific experts, key actors and collaborators thru multiple tracks that will present recent advances in subject areas that impact smarter cities. As Vermont’s economy continues to grow at a rate faster than that of the US economy as a whole, new challenges have motivated the need for a 2020 set of goals which will be explored during this inaugural conference. For a state with a small and largely rural population, Vermont has an impressive history of innovation. In the 1820s, the town of Windsor was the home of the modern machine shop. Today, Burlington ranks #2 of Business Insider’s list of the 20 most innovative cities in the US.
