EVENT DETAILS |
Hacks/Hackers Connect is a global launchpad event series for growing media entrepreneurs.
It lands at City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Journalism School, in midtown Manhattan, right next door to The New York Times, on February 26 & 27.
Hacks/Hackers has brought thousands of journalists and technologists around the world together over the past five years, united in a belief that we need to work together to build the future of media. Now, we're launching a series of global events to seed new media ventures, grow deeper connections within the community and attract new collaborators.
Connect is built on a belief that the information ecosystem of tomorrow will be heavily influenced by entrepreneurial and upstart activities: new experimental products in market, new risk-taking enterprises, and never-attempted-before civic undertakings. Read more about our vision on Medium.
