Hi Team EdLab... listed below is another opportunity to interface with the NY Edtech startup community. This time the organizer for this event is the #NYEdTech Meetup group. The panelists confirmed for the night's discussion include: LateNight Labs, Knewton, Schoology & LORE. As we move-forward with our plans for the inaugural LaunchPad demo night I think these events will be especially interesting to attend!

Note:This event is FREE... you just have to join the NY EdTech Meetup group. Or you can go as my "+1." There are only 19 seats left so register now if you are interested!

Location: The Hatchery
500 Seventh Avenue; 17th Floor, New York, NY

Description:
For this meetup, we'll shift back to focusing on entrepreneurs. We're interested in exploring the allure of doing business with New York City DOE; however, it's been often noted the challenges in engaging the nation's largest school district. So many firms will need to have a national, and even an international, focus in spite of NYC being in their backyard.

The panel will consist of firms in varying areas of the ed tech ecosystem, and varying approaches to the market. So we'll have the opportunity to discuss B2B and B2C models, the K12 and HE Markets, and the aforementioned approaches to locality.
