Hi hardwarians,

After a longer than expected hiatus, we're back with another hardware meetup, and we're doing this one in conjunction with R/GA - the digital agency that just launched an Internet of Things Venture Studio in London, UK. We'll be hosted at their swanky NYC offices with views over the Hudson, and you can network away with the folks in charge of selecting startups for the IoT program. In addition to our typical roster of presenters, we'll have two slots open for startups who want to pitch to R/GA. Hit me up on helhawary@gmail.com if you are interested in taking one of those slots, with a one paragraph description of what you're doing and ideally a deck. You'll be notified if you're selected in a few days. Hope to see you all there!

To get through security, please also sign up on this Eventbrite.
