Providing innovators with a place to connect with the media, influential bloggers, the marketplace and each other.
Happy Birthday!
That’s right, it’s been a full year since Bobbie Carlton and Dan Englander started bringing together the Boston-based innovation community to meet, network, and celebrate the launch of new products ranging from web software, to alternative energy, to healthcare, to . . . popsicles. We celebrated Mass Innovation Night’s first anniversary at the IBM Innovation Center in Waltham due to the flooding at the Charles River Museum of Industry (our regular location). Thanks to the folks at IBM for hosting the event at short notice, and thanks to EditMe for providing the delicious cake. (And when you get that tax refund check, consider donating some of it towards the Museum’s cleanup expenses; you did remember to file your taxes, right?)
For those of you who missed it, Paul Geffen has a quick recap of the action. We also got a nice mention in Captain Ed’s blog from the Navigator Club. (We love our non-tech Innovators — isn’t the Navigator Club just like Zipcar for boats?)
Best quote of the night from Michael Grover “Everywhere I looked, people were networking at a fever pitch.” (That wasn’t a fever pitch, Michael, that was a sugar high! Did you get cake?)
We were very pleased with the turnout; especially with the fact that we can attract the next generation of innovators, like these students from Boston University…really like the recognition of Mass Innovation Nights as a friendly event!
And of course, we had a great lineup of presentations:
Nine Technology
EditMe
Appstella
WineHug

Thanks for the shout out, Bobbie!
We’re trying to get more BU students out to events like this one.
