This project was organized by Todd Nakamura, a software architect and founder of Google Developers Group North Jersey. On the event’s meetup page, it states, “This will be an all-day event held at Montclair State University featuring tech talks, hands-on Code Labs, moderated panels (Tech, Pharma/Healthcare and Startups), tech showcases, fireside chats, tech trivia, live streams from Google I/O in San Francisco, swag, food, prizes and lots of other fun stuff.”
There are already a number of high-profile speakers set to attend, including Alex Torpey, Mayor of South Orange; Dennis Bone, Director of Feliciano Center at MSU and Former President of Verizon New Jersey; Nick Landry, Senior Technical Evangelist for Microsoft; Mario Casabona, Founder and CEO of Casabona Ventures and many more. Even though the list of attendees is already impressive, the event states that there are still more speakers to be announced.
