Healthcare Cyber Threat Readiness: 1 Day Security Training, Raleigh, NC

We’re excited to bring Walking Mastermind™ to Raleigh-Durham Climate Week, organized by Carolina Climate and Raleigh-Durham Startup Co., and to continue our partnership with Carolina Climate, creating space for founders and leaders to connect, learn from each other, and strengthen the climate community across our region and beyond! Join climate founders, leaders, community builders, and curious professionals for a walk, meaningful conversations, and an easier way to meet people without having to work the room a moment before the Raleigh-Durham Climate Week (RDCW) officially begins for the first time right here in the Triangle. Read More HERE Each month we have a theme for the walk: Our November theme is GRATITUDE, a chance to appreciate the founders and beyond working with purpose toward a healthier planet, recognize those who make that work possible, and pause to give ourselves some credit along the way. WHAT TO EXPECT Let’s answer a few questions you might have 🙋 Can I come alone? Absolutely. Many people do. You do not need to know anyone before you arrive. We will pair you with 1–2 people for the Walk & Talk. 👟 What should I wear? We let you choose, whether that’s casual, workout clothes, everyday clothes, or whatever you’re wearing to the RDCW event that day. It all works! We usually walk about 1 mile at a conversational pace, about a 20–25 minute walk, so wear any shoes you’re comfortable walking in around downtown. No special walking gear needed. 💬 What will we talk about? Each month, we explore a focused theme connected to work, life, and how we navigate both, with a few questions to guide the conversation so you do not have to figure out what to talk about or how to get started when you walk. The questions are there to get you started, not to keep you on a script. If your conversation takes you somewhere else worth exploring, follow it (we just want you to enjoy the walk & talk). 👋 Do I have to introduce myself to everyone? No long introductions and no eleva

Every company needs digital infrastructure: laptops, cloud storage, SaaS tools, websites. In an increasingly tech-heavy and climate-focused world, that infrastructure is a key part of your carbon footprint. As enterprise customers, government contracts, and investors push for Scope 3 emissions accounting down their supply chains, companies that can't answer emissions questions about their own digital operations are at a real disadvantage. In this session, Jen McFarland of Marit Digital introduces "sustainable tech" with insights for founders and operators. Where is your digital footprint actually coming from? How do you get the information to make digital procurement decisions? We'll talk device lifecycle management, green hosting, cloud and file hygiene, and leaner websites. You'll leave with a technology evaluation framework you can use immediately, and a practical list of what to start measuring now before your biggest customer asks.
