Brews, Views and Networking in NYC: January 2016

At the end of January, over 150 Tech in Motion NYC members gathered at The DL Rooftop Lounge for brews, views, and some world class networking.

 Despite impending Blizzard Jonas, the bar filled with technologists, tech enthusiasts, and job seekers.

Surrounded by The DL’s iconic greenery and center bar, the DJ spun an original mix to set the mood for some active networking. The moon shone bright through the glass roof as groups clustered around the bar and in the peripheral couches, networking and sharing inspiration.

A variety of motives had driven members old and new to the event. Some were there to network with like-minded professionals, while others arrived with what might be the next big idea, hoping to speak to potential developers. Innovation was in the air as ideas were exchanged on the tropical rooftop.

With over 200,000 jobs in the tech industry in NYC—and over $1.3 billion in investment money to be had—having seasoned professionals on hand was invaluable.

“Jobspring Partners and Workbridge Associates are the proud creators of Tech in Motion Events," said Sloane Barbour, the Regional Director of the two, "and as such, we strive to provide current insight on both the market and the art of searching for a job.”

At the close of the event, it was clear that members from a bevy of backgrounds had battled the weather to attend Tech in Motion. From journalists to investors, technologists to founders, connections were made across the board, and our attendees made their way to the after party down the block.
