Dear Innovators,
Welcome to June -- one of the busiest event months of the year! (Everyone is trying to get their event in before summer when things supposedly slow down.) Our schedule never changes: Mass Innovation Nights is always the second Wednesday of every month. And this summer promises some of our most exciting events, including the fan favorite, Mass Innovation Nights -- the annual Foodie edition.
In this newsletter, we've got a whole bunch of events to update you on, some news on the competition front and of course, a reminder to RSVP & VOTE for the next Mass Innovation Nights event -- coming next week! MIN #39 will be on Wednesda, June 13 on the North Shore at the Beverly Cummings Center. We'll be there with ten new products to launch! See you then -- if not before! (Check out all the cool new events we have listed this week. Wow!)
And, if you have friends on the North Shore -- send them our way. Feel free to grab this little note:
"Dear North Shore Friend -- I've heard you talk about how difficult it is to get into Boston or Cambridge for the events there but now one of those events is coming to you! The June 13 Mass Innovation Nights event will be held at the Beverly Cummings Center. Ten cool new products, the Experts Corner and terrific networking. Sign up now on the website (Mass.InnovationNights.com) and let everyone know you'll be there!"
The Mass Innovation Nights Team
P.S. @BobbieC, @MassInno and @StartUpMass will be tweeting from the Startup America Summit in Boulder this week. Cool stuff!
