Whether you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, business professional or just someone who wants to meet new people, this event is for you! It's the perfect opportunity to get away from your desk, have some cocktails and network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. We'd say about 70% of the crowd is usually single so it can be a great place to meet someone special as well. A Secret Networking Event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment. **SECRET SYMBOL** After you sign up we'll send you an email with a list of different industries and interests to choose from. Each industry/interest will have a different "secret symbol". This secret symbol will let the other event attendees know what industry/industries you're in or what topic/topics you're interested in. Once you select what industry and/or topics you're interested in you'll be directed to a page with printable paper bracelet templates with your secret symbol on them. You can select one industry or multiple industries or topics. If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw the secret symbol/s on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event. For example... those in the tech industry might have a triangle as their secret symbol... those in the real estate industry might have a square as their secret symbol... those single and looking to potentially meet someone special might have a circle as their secret symbol... those interested in crypto might have a lightning bolt as their secret symbol, etc. Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. **\*\* EVENT LOCATION IS LISTED ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE \*\*** *\* QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 25 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP ONLY REFLECTS A SMALL PORTION OF ACTUAL ATTENDEES.* *An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment. Event well done!" - Danielle, NYC* **//// Want to see all of the most fun events coming in NYC?

Admission to the museum is free. This exhibition will be on display from February 19 until April 19, 2026. If you cannot attend the opening, please stop in and see the show at your convenience. Call ahead for hours. This exhibition is a comprehensive exploration of the symbiotic relationship between the world of fashion and fine art. Featuring more than 140 objects, including garments, accessories, textiles, photographs, and original artworks drawn from MFIT's permanent collection, *Art X Fashion* challenges the traditional hierarchies of visual culture, presenting fashion and art each as parallel, potent expressions of social, intellectual, and creative forces. Curated by Dr. Elizabeth Way, curator of costume and accessories at MFIT, the exhibition reflects MFIT's mission to advance the understanding and appreciation of fashion's critical role in culture. The core of *Art X Fashion* lies in its profound engagement with the eternal question: "Is fashion art?" The exhibition explores the ways that fashion has always been a partner, not a follower, of fine art, highlighting typically overlooked integrations throughout history. This includes examples of how the two disciplines have worked together to create European styles, from the drama of Rococo and Neoclassical grandeur to the unsettling world of Surrealism, to the shock of Pop Art and postmodernism. **Share your excitement using #ArtXFashionMFIT** **Go to https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/art-fashion/index.php for more information.**

Join us on **Thursday, February 26** at **Datadog Times Square**. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. to give attendees plenty of time to grab pizza and socialize, and the talk begin at 7:15 p.m. Following the success of the UnConf we've absorbed all of your feedback and have two awesome speakers! **Robin Molen-Grigull is CTO at Fullstack.Trade** \- a stealth mode firm focused on high performance compute and latency in the Web3 space\. **Storage Tetris: Compile-Time Solutions for 32-Byte Storage Constraints** Fitting arbitrary Rust structs into fixed 32-byte storage slots is a puzzle, but Rust’s macros and type system make it solvable. Automatic layout and lazy loading, combined with a small macro, turn low-level storage primitives into clean .field() accessors. Associated types and compile-time offset calculations eliminate manual storage arithmetic while remaining zero-cost. **James Logan is a Principal Scientific Software Engineer at Commonwealth Fusion** **Interpn: Fast Interpolation** James Logan recently delivered a ten minute lightning talk at Rust Boston. The goal of that talk was to share "Everything I learned making software 300x faster than state-of-the-art". James has used Interpn in a way like never seen before, improving performance in a way that is unimaginably unique and can be applied by so many engineers. This is definitely one not to be missed. **[Lawrence Harvey](https://www.lawrenceharvey.com/)** is Rust NYC's official recruitment partner, with Ross providing support as a co-organizer and financial support.
