Special Meetup: Hudson Valley Advanced Manufacturing Center at SUNY New Paltz

Join us for this special Hudson Valley Tech Meetup co-hosted by Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation and Dean Daniel Freedman at the Hudson Valley Advanced Manufacturing Center.

This is an open house for the broader business community of the Hudson Valley to learn more about what Hudson Valley Tech Meetup has to offer and for all of us to learn what the Hudson Valley Advanced Manufacturing Center is all about. [spoiler] It involves 3D printing.

We're very excited to welcome Larry Gottlieb, President of HVEDC (http://www.hvedc.com) and Daniel Freedman, Dean of the School of Science & Engineering at SUNY New Paltz and Director of HVAMC (http://www.newpaltz.edu/hvamc/) as co-hosts of our first ever special event and our first collaboration with a state university.
