DETAILS

We're back with another Hardware Meetup & it couldn't come at a better time. Those of us on the East Coast are still digging ourselves out of the snow, & there's more in the forecast I'm looking forward to a warm drink & great talks about hardware startups.

Shout out to our sponsor Precision Graphics Inc for helping make this month's meetup possible.

Precision Graphics Inc (https://precisiongraphics.us/) is a NJ based full-scale Electronics Contract Manufacturer with domestic & offshore capabilities. From prototypes to mass production, they provide everything from layout to supply chain & distribution support.

Heres the rough agenda for the evening:

7:00 - 7:10pm Mingling in breakout rooms
