"New Faces of Tech in the Bronx"
MetaBronx was created the evening before this event. A logo, website, and table tents were designed and published/printed within a few hours of the idea being hatched.
The event itself came out of an open-ended collaboration between the Office of NYS Assemblymember Michael Blake and the co-architects of the nascent Bronx community-driven innovation ecosystem.
