Event: PRSA Austin Chapter July 2016 Happy Hour
Post-Uber Austin: How a Local Startup Launched Fast to Fill an Immediate Need

Join us for the July Happy Hour at Black Finn Pub in The Domain on Thursday, July 28 from 6 to 8 p.m. for a discussion about how a local startup pulled off a lightning-fast launch for post-Uber Austin.

Joe Deshotel of RideAustin will discuss how they are safely filling an immediate need and enriching the Austin community. Joe will expand on his experiences managing communications for a fast-paced startup in the wake of a heated debate, navigating the tensions of engaging very different - and often opposing - audiences, and how his experiences leading communications for the Travis County Democratic Party prepared him for the challenge of launching RideAustin.
