InnoMAYtion Kick-Off!
Thursday, we went to InnoMAYtion Kick-Off at Carnegie Library. We snapped DC government communications director Joaquin McPeek, DC government tech and innovation portfolio manager Jocelyn James, and DC Deputy Mayor for planning and economic development Brian Kenner.
The event marked the kickoff of the third annual #innoMAYtion, a monthlong initiative showcasing local innovators and entrepreneurs who are making DC a global model of inclusive innovation. Here, DC administrative coordinator Adam Poole and Latinovations' Dakar Lanzino.
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser addresses the crowd. Guest enjoyed hors d'oeuvre, drinks and networked with fellow tech industry professionals.
Innovation is taking shape in many ways in DC, but #innoMAYtion 2017 focuses on the themes of impacting the economy, smart cities and civic solutions, youth and women in STEM programs and entrepreneurship. Here, Washington DC Economic Partnership’s J. Kevin Morgan with Netwalking’s Jessica Tunon.
