Director’s Note: Happy holidays, everyone!
First off, Gobble Gobble!! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. On our end, our big Eclectic Convergence conference at Cornell Tech earlier in the month was fantastic! One of our best due to our superb speakers. And our team also held two hackathon events in November, one in Ithaca and one in NYC. Both were big hits.
We will not be sending a newsletter in December…so…Gobble Gobble and HoHoHo!
Have a wonderful holiday season.
