EVENT RECAP:
Another successful Jersey City Tech Meetup was held on October 24th, and it was an absolute blast! A huge thanks to Apprentice.io for hosting everyone and providing goodies for all of the attendees. Also, want to give a special shout out to Kristen Kucks for working with me to bring it all to life! CEO and Co-Founder Angelo Stracquatanio III enlightened the crowd on the future of Augmented Reality in a variety of industries and the story of how this Jersey City startup came to life.
Michael Burghoffer of PicoTurbine International also presented on the future of Virtual Reality and even provided headsets for everyone to have some fun with during the networking portion of the event, so another huge thanks to Michael and his team for bringing the fun. Lastly, thanks to all the awesome attendees for their continued support!
