We're at a brand new location in May - Schoology, which is literally at Penn Station. Thanks to one of our members, Alberto Silveira, who answered the bell! 

PLEASE NOTE: Security at this location is strict and the capacity is not as high as previous locations. Please ensure that you RSVP and that the name you provide matches what is on your ID - otherwise you won't get in. Unfortunately, we don't have control over event location security or capacity. Once capacity is reached, we will start a waitlist but those on the waitlist are not guaranteed entry.

Missed last month's events? No worries - we got you covered. Check out the recording, slides and now pictures on the respective event pages.

Just before we leap into the summer sun, we have lined up three great speakers and topics. As always, outside of these talks, we'll have food, drinks and plenty of networking opportunities; and maybe even a prize or two.
