Alex's Tech Thoughts

I currently run three events in NYC and need help with all of them.

Since I’ve joined Dwolla I have not had the time to organize the events I typically run:

BD Meetup, Digital Learning Series and the NYVC Speaker Series.

Even though I only do BD Meetup and DLS every two months, I don’t have the bandwidth to get everything set up for them.

That is why I am writing this post, I would like to find someone to help run these events with me. Megan Towe already helps me with BD Meetup, but because it has become a massive meetup I’m sure even she could use the help.

Here is what I need for each event:

BD Meetup

The event is looking for a new location. We have outgrown Cooley, General Assembly and any other place. We need a place that will seat 200. Megan helps me run the event, but could use help from someone looking to take some initiative with the event. The person would figure out a new venue, help pick the next topic, be involved with choosing the panelists and helping the day of.

Digital Learning Series

This event is held at General Assembly and there are typically five education companies demo’ing. I need someone to help pick those companies and lead correspondence with those chosen. They would talk with GA about setting up the event and making sure everything is ready. This event takes place once every two months.

NYVC Speaker Series

This event is held at Dogpatch Labs and there is one investor who gives a short presentation and fields questions from the audience. The event is once a month (Monday of the last week). The person helping would lead correspondence with the investor who is talking at the event and help set up the day of.

If you are interested in getting involved, this is a great opportunity. Only reach out if you are serious about helping. Email me at Ataub24(at)gmail(dot)com
