For our next Tech After Hours NYC on the evening of Wednesday, April 23 we will be sponsoring an engaging panel discussion on the past, present and future of technology education.

Our panelists will be discussing how teaching methodologies have transformed in the past few years, how students are breaking from the mold of the traditional classroom to online courses, short-term intensive programs, and self-teaching, and the best practices in continuing education to keep on top of advancements and emerging, relevant technologies, trends, and programming languages.

• Vinay Trivedi: Tech enthusiast, entrepreneur, investor with a background in computer science from Harvard University, and author of How to Speak Tech (http://www.speakingtech.com/book/).

• Justin Cottrell: Director of Talener (http://www.talener.com/)'s New York office, a technology staffing firm.
