The BE.INnovative Symposium is an annual event to connect the tech,
creative, and academic communities in the Brooklyn Tech Triangle. This
year’s highlights include panels on the theme of “Innovation for All,”
practical discussions geared toward job searchers who want to land that
coveted position (or create their own), and a hackathon tackling local
sustainability challenges. Formerly known as Tech Triangle U, the
symposium is hosted by BE.IN member institutions in collaboration with
the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership.
