Tech Innovation is New England’s Greatest Resource
As chronicled by local author & columnist Scott Kirsner, New England’s Innovation Economy attracts some of the best technology companies, most succesful venture capitalists, and smartest technology workers in the nation. I’m lucky enough to have been born, raised, and schooled here, and my professional career has been shaped by almost exclusively by some of the greatest, forward thinking minds in the nation. Yeah – I’ve got hometown pride. Don’t even get me started on the Red Sox.
One of the natural by products of having all these smart, innovative, hard working people within close proximity is that there are a lot of great, recurring meetups and events to go to, meet foks, grab mindshare, and make connections. To attempt to enumerate a complete list here would be doing a disservice, as they are too many and varied by subject matter and topic. I’ll leave that to the good folks at Boston TweetUp who do their best to keep us all up to date with all the tech networking events around town. But, organizations like MITX, Mass Innovation Nights, and especially Web Innovator’s Group routinely impress me with caliber of events they host at no or next-to-nothing cost to me.
This Tuesday, September 29th, WebInno23 will kick off with a slate of 3 main dish presentations by local Tech companies, as well as a gallery of 6 companies demo’ing their technology throughout the evening. As an extra special added bonus, Mike Troiano will lead a breakout discussion titled “An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Bootstrapping PR” with local talent including Scott Kirsner. I’ve had the pleasure of being able to speak one on one with both Mike and Scott to learn about their thoughts on technology marketing, social media, and engagement in the online world. I know from personal experience that this will be one great breakout session in an already impressive event.
If you haven’t already done so, take a moment to register for WebInno23. For those attending the event, drop me a note on Twitter now, and I’ll be sure to introduce myself this Tuesday.
Also, be sure to checkout videos and my feedback on past WebInno events.
