CityWorks (X)po Kicks Off in Roanoke

CityWorks (X)po, the brainchild of self-described urban social engineer Ed Walker (above), who also develops a little property, was off and running this afternoon.

The three-day brainstorm at Roanoke City Market building's new meeting facility on the third floor was full to brimming with an array of creative types who were looking to make a mark in the Small Cities Movement nationally.

Walker has brought in a number of speakers and planned quite a few events around the (X)po and you can get a schedule here.
