Inspiration was the keyword for the Rotterdam Make It Happen Meet-up. What is the main inspiration for people to live, study or do business in a specific city, in this case Rotterdam? How can we inspire other enterprising people to choose Rotterdam? What information do they need to make their decision? How and where will they be looking for that information and inspiration? How 'Make It Happen' is Rotterdam really?

Follow-up
Monday 10 July we had another 'Big Moment'! Branddoctors presented their insights to the Make It Happen Brandalliance. These insights were based on the pre-meetup interviews, the Brandboard App and, of course, the Meet-up itself! For now we'd like to share some keywords with you. Those of you who participated in the Meet-up will probably recognize them: network city, inclusiveness, making small things bigger, co-creation, take your space, social media are King, working and building together.
We get that, at first glance, this may come across a little random and abstract... Don't worry! We'll get back to you about this soon.
