At Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv/), we will get a tour of the office, including the space they sublet to other startups, have drinks with the Boxee team and enjoy a technical presentation. This will be the first company our tour has a physical consumer product, not just a web product.

A lot of your favorite shows and movies are already on the internet. Boxee is a device that finds them and puts them on your TV. Boxee uses PHP, MySQL and they implament MVP methodologies. For our event, Tatum Lade, Head of US R&D for Boxee will tell give us insight into the unique engineering challenges of developing a product that streams internet video to your television. I can’t wait!

Next we will visit AppNexus (http://www.appnexus.com/). We will get to tour their new floor! They just renovated and will be opening up their expanded office space just in time for our visit. We’ll join them for pizza and a technical presentation.
