Weve been deeply moved by all the volunteers who have come together to help with Sandy Relief efforts in the past month. We are dedicating Queens Tech Meetup 5 to explore how technology has played a role in NYCs recovery. Come and learn how to give back for the Holidays.

Following the demo portion, QTM5 will lead into a Holiday Party with music by DJ Spooky and co-hosted with See | Me & Origin magazine. Complimentary refreshments will be provided.

Rachel Haot: NYCs Chief Digital Officer, Rachel is leading the strategy to make NYC the worlds leading digital city. She previously founded GroundReport & Upward Strategy. StartUP New York // Reshma Saujani: Reshma Saujani is the founder of Girls Who Code and the former Deputy Public Advocate of New York City.

Rebuilding Queens: Rebuilding Queens is a project coordinated by C4Q and built purely by volunteers for the Queensborough Presidents Office to act as a web-based centralized resource for Sandy Relief.
