NYC Urban Sustainability Meetup Happy Hour and Presentation on + POOL

We're teaming up with the NYC Energy and Environment Happy Hour and plan to kick off our happy hour with a short presentation and Q+A with + POOL co-founder Dong-Ping. If you aren't familiar: + POOL will be the first floating, river-filtering pool in the world and it'll be right here in NYC.

Dong-Ping will be sharing all the latest developments and some info and renderings of the project and we've asked him to even get a little philosophical on how the + POOL project can serve as a lens for understanding urban sustainability and technology as it interacts with one often neglected urban system: water. Don't worry, after the short presentation and Q+A we'll turn the lights back up and resume the informal happy hour vibe and conversations on urban sustainability and technology we're known for.

What: NYC Urban Sustainability Meetup Happy Hour and Presentation on +POOL
Where: Woodrow's at 43 Murray Street, New York, NY 10007
