Think about the locations that are hosting the activities and the time it will take to travel in between.

Have someone who is involved with innovation/startups in charge of this. It would be beneficial to focus on an area that everyone relates to but engage different demographics and different majors/departments because this will allow other perspectives to be brought to the table.
