Date and time
Description
Less than 24 hours after we elect the next Governor and many new Senators and Representatives, you'll have the opportunity to shape tech policy through a single evening "idea-a-thon." The session will be hosted by the Legislature's Tech Hub Caucus Co-Chairs Senator Karen Spilka and Representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante. This event will bring together key players in the startup ecosystem and government leaders.
By the end of the evening, you'll help craft a list of new ideas for Massachusetts State Government to drive growth of the ecosystem. And just like in School House Rock, the winning idea will be turned into a bill, and sent on its way to Beacon Hill!
Whether you work at a startup, big company or in government, the session will create new insights into the needs of the tech community and how we can partner to can accelerate growth. We look forward to your participation!
