Each week, there will be different panelists from large tech companies and small startup organizations speaking about the changing tech world in Newark including: Panasonic, Audible, GNEC, Wickr, Code for Newark, Currant, NJIT, NJII, Google Women Techmakers, Phone.com, and Newark Venture Partners.

After the panel, there will be demonstrations of new tech devices ranging from a Tesla to a messaging app with free giveaways included!

The end of the program will be dedicated to networking time so that Newarkers in the tech community can meet each other and socialize over drinks at the outdoor bar at Burg in Military Park.
