Tech & Food: Lollipops, Cookbooks, Kitchen Incubators and Buzz!

Make sure to click through to PayPal after RSVPing.

The next Disruptive Technologists® in NYC Meetup is Monday August 19th at our additional new venue: AT&T AdWorks Lab, 19th Floor on the upper West Side.

The event will be all about Food & Tech - lollipops that help you lose weight, texts that tell you when your table is ready, personalized cookbooks and experiences of enterprising foodtech entrepreneurs.

There are huge screens as well as killer high tech equipment so we can have a fun Disruptive Meetup! The place is smaller, so tickets will be limited. But we will still have pizza and soda provided by FundingPost and other cool drinks, like Hint essence water and giveaways. And the Lab will also be providing beer!
