Thrivals
Sponsored through a partnership between the University of Louisville College of Business and the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation, Thrivals brings over 630 guests, primarily upper high school and college students, together with professionals from the community to explore innovation and cutting edge ideas. As a part of the Idea Festival, Thrivals has been seen as “a festival within a festival.”
Thrivals is especially interested in students who are the future disruptors, who are comfortable with the unknown, who yearn for global awareness, and greater knowledge of understanding of some of the major driving forces that will shape our mid to long-term future.
Past Thrivals speakers include:
- Hannah Drake (Project HEAL)
- Anshu Gupta (Goonj)
- Sugata Mitra (Educational Researcher)
- Janelle Monae (Musician)
- Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek)
- Lakshmi Singh (NPR)
