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.
