Show and Tell
Have a product, demo or slide deck to share? Bring what you need to show and tell guests, but email us if it’s bigger than a breadbox. We reserve the right to disallow anything that is not quite in keeping with the blue tech mission.
Networking
Open networking for the entire evening. Bring a name tag and load up your LinkedIn QR code. This mixer is for employees, founders, students, educators, non-profits within the blue economy. Lighting round intros will happen at approximately 6pm.Â
Member Spotlight
