Forum to Explore North of Boston Tech Hub with Cluster-Mapping Research April 24
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BEVERLY, Mass. – Regional technology executives, students, and others will gather for the fourth annual installment of the North Shore Technology Council’s (NSTC) annual research series:
“The State of Technology on the North Shore”
Wednesday, April 24; 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Wylie Inn & Conference Center at Endicott College
295 Hale St.
Beverly, MA 01915
To help attendees understand “the tech hub north of Boston”—what it is, where it’s heading, and how it compares to other hubs—Endicott College students will present research using cluster-mapping tools developed by Harvard Business School’s Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness (ISC).
“Our area, the North Shore and the greater tech cluster north of Boston, is a hotbed for new technology development and commercialization,” says David Bertoni, president of the NSTC and founder of consulting firm MarketSp@ce. “This Endicott College research project begins to tell the data’s tale of which sectors and technology clusters are emerging in our region.”
The featured panelist at the event is Rich Bryden, director of information products at the ISC, who designed and launched Harvard’s cluster-mapping project. Student presenters from Endicott are junior Chase Andrews, sophomore Haley Noel, senior Ben Sawyer, senior Michael Scherer, and junior Ian Schmidt. The event will be moderated by Jeff Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies and founder of the Cloud Computing Showplace. Registration is available online until April 23 and is $15/executive or individual and $25/non-member.
