About this event
Start your morning with a conversation that goes beyond small talk. NTC Now with Nicole Miller of Biomimicry 3.8 brings together people who care about ideas, relationships, and the kind of cross-disciplinary thinking that can actually change how we work. This is an in-person gathering designed to be both thoughtful and approachable: a chance to hear from Nicole Miller, connect with others in the room, and take part in a community-centered meetup that feels purposeful from the start. About the Event NTC Now is a community meetup built around timely conversation, real connection, and shared curiosity. With Nicole Miller of Biomimicry 3.8 at the center of this edition, the event offers a focused opportunity to engage with perspectives shaped by biomimicry and systems thinking in a format that is social, accessible, and grounded in dialogue. Because this event is happening in person, the emphasis is not just on listening, but on being present with other attendees. That means more room for spontaneous conversations, more opportunities to meet people outside your usual circle, and a better setting for ideas to spark into something practical. If you are looking for an event that sits somewhere between a speaker session, a meetup, and a networking gathering, this is that sweet spot. It is structured enough to give the morning shape, but open enough to leave space for the conversations that often end up mattering most. What to Expect Expect a morning format that is easy to step into and worth making time for. The event is built to bring people together around a featured conversation while also creating space for informal connection before, during, and after the main program. You can expect elements like: A featured conversation with Nicole Miller of Biomimicry 3.8 Community networking with attendees across interests and backgrounds Meetup-style interaction that feels more conversational than formal Social connection that makes it easier to continue the discussion beyond the session itself Rather than packing the agenda with too much, this kind of gathering works because it gives each part of the experience room to breathe. You will have the chance to listen closely, ask better questions, and exchange ideas with people who showed up for the same reason you did: to be in a room where thoughtful conversation is actually possible. The morning timing also shapes the energy in a useful way. An 8:30 AM start tends to create a focused, intentional atmosphere, with attendees arriving ready to engage, meet others, and begin the day with substance instead of rushing through another passive event. Why Attend There is real value in being in the room for conversations that connect disciplines, communities, and ways of thinking. Nicole Miller’s connection to Biomimicry 3.8 makes this event especially appealing for anyone interested in how nature-informed thinking can influence design, leadership, innovation, strategy, or problem-solving. But this is not only about one topic. It is also about the people you will meet there. Community events like this are often where new collaborations begin, where one good conversation leads to another, and where professional networking feels less transactional because it is rooted in genuine shared interest. You should attend if you want more than a passive audience experience. This event gives you a reason to show up curious, ask sharper questions, and leave with new points of view you can carry into your own work and relationships. A few strong reasons to make time for it: Hear from a featured guest connected to Biomimicry 3.8 Meet people in person in a setting built for conversation Expand your network through a community-oriented format Start your day with ideas that can influence how you think and work Be part of a local moment rather than watching from the sidelines Practical Details This event takes place in person on Wednesday, April 3 at 8:30 AM PDT.
