Cardano NYC Community Gathering
Sunday October 21st
3pm – 5pm
496 16th Street Brooklyn NY 11215 (corner of 10th Ave / Windsor Terrace/ Prospect Park)
RSVP – Details below
We are looking to gather a small group of Cardano enthusiasts interested activating and sustaining community efforts across the NYC area.
We see this informal gathering as a first step in understanding our personal interests and professional resources to help Cardano grow.
We do not intend this initial gathering to focus on deep technical aspects of Cardano. Nor do we envision this group being fixated on discussions about the price of Ada or how to get rich quick.
We are looking for individuals passionate about the Cardano project and committed to growing the community.
We support any future efforts that might be organized by other NYC area Cardano Meetup.com groups (NYC Cardano organized by Alexander Tsoukias; Cardano Meetup organized by Qais and Harry Hur.)
When & Where:
Sunday October 21st
3 pm – 5pm
496 16th Street Brooklyn NY 11215
(at corner of 10th Ave; Windsor Terrace/Prospect Park)
