No rockstars: Just free beer, burgers and shakes at the center of the
NYC digital community with those who code, design, deal, finance, and
brute force it everyday.
Check out this video of last year's event.
The NY tech and digital media community has unofficially adopted the Shake Shack at Madison Square Park as the community social hub. Located within blocks of many local startups and prominent investors, the Shake Shack plays host to business development lunches, investor pitches, and spontaneous Twitter-bot driven flashmobs.
On September 29th, 2010, at 6PM, the nextNY community will be getting everyone to the front of the line with a party for the 300 of the most innovative and influential members of the NY tech scene. We'll have free food and drink, but more importantly, we'll be making sure a great cross section of the tech scene participates--entrepreneurs (successful and up and coming alike), VC Partners, developers, designers, business people, marketers, etc.
Free food: Free drinks:
Shack Burgers Red & White wine by the glass
Plain Burgers Budweiser
Cheese Burgers Amstel Light
French Fries Shackmeister
Shackcago Dogs Fiji Water
Hot Dogs
Bird Dogs
New York Dogs
