We invite you to join us for The IQ® Brew next month to discover the newest advancements and discoveries in neuroscience!

Dr. Jane Wigginton from the Texas Biomedical Device Center at UTD will showcase how closed-loop vagus nerve stimulation (CLV) works to help the brain rewire and heal itself from stroke, spinal cord injury, and PTSD. She will also explain how breakthroughs like CLV move from concept to clinical use right here in Richardson.

This free event also includes a kickstart to your day with laid-back networking, coffee, and snacks!☕

The final day of Richardson’s Small Business Week was full of creativity, inspiration, and ideas for business owners looking to establish or improve their social media presence.

Natalie Draeger of 101Media explained the dos and don’ts of social media marketing, and shared cost-effective strategies to give small businesses exposure through communication, brand-building, and consistency. Attendees were also able to ask her about specific challenges they’ve faced with social media in their industries, and how to overcome them.

We want to thank all of this week’s speakers and business owners for joining us for the first Richardson Small Business Week. We hope everyone learned something, made new connections, or walked away with fresh ideas!
