Gainesville - [website][events]
Frank is an annual conference for people working on the frontlines of social change. It brings together communication professionals, academics, researchers, activists, artists, philanthropists and leaders to connect evidence to action for on-the-ground impact.
The three-day conference takes place in downtown Gainesville and about 300 franksters attend. We normally have about 40 speakers. They have different titles, passions, and fields, but they are all working to create positive social change.
All the talks take place in the Main Stage of the Hippodrome. The basement of the Hipp is the frank lounge, where franksters can go throughout the day for a coffee or to work on their laptop while still watching the Main Stage Performance – all the talks are live streamed on to the basement TVs.
