Last night was the 4th Digital DUMBO Drinks hosted by our good friends at HUGE. An extremely successful and SOLD OUT event at the DUMBO Arts Center, we’re already excited for the next one. The lofty space hosted over 150 of the DUMBO digital elite gathering around the keg filled with the finest beer around-Brooklyn “We Go Hard” Lager or filling up a glass with the delicious punch. Kegs and punch? Now THAT is how you throw a party.
Besides working our butts off creating campaigns that are going to shake up the current world of media, the team does support local causes and gets involved with some pretty cool stuff.
We are always looking to meet with people interested in what we do and talk about the changing world of social media, what they’re seeing and just have a kick ass conversation.
So, what’s easier than telling you all where WE are going to be! See the run down below and hope to see you all soon!
Digital DUMBO Drinks #3:
I will be attending the Numenta HTM Workshop in Palo Alto, CA this June! The workshop explores Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) and the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing (NuPIC). Not only will I be soaking up the newest developments on HTM and NuPIC, soaking up the summer Cali sun, but I have also been asked to discuss “Neuro Computation in the Cloud” during the Lightning Talks on June 24 at the workshop. This is a result of the 2nd place finish Christopher Laan and I received from this year’s Numenta Game Challenge.
VIP TXT was recently featured on the Web2NewYork blog!
We are thrilled to annouce that VIP TXT will be unveiled Tuesday, May 13 at the Web2NewYork Networking Party. Although it has been a long and arduous process getting VIP TXT ready for launch, we could not be happier to have it prepared for the summer months. And although we will be debuting it in the New Haven, Hartford and Stamford CT areas, we can guarentee that it will not be long before VIP TXT is THE connection for all of your nightlife needs.
The Carrot Crew consisting of Bobby, Andrew and I just got back from day one of the Podcamp NYC 2.0 unconference. Its always an interesting experience attending these conferences as there is always a great mix of people merely there to sell their “revolutionary New Media” idea and those people genuinely invested in important conversation about the future of the New Media industry. However, we do thank everyone that did present in the variety of seminars we attended as each seminar offered the space to talk about the industry. Check out Andrew and I discussing the impact of Twitter and other new Media outlets (around 4:00 into the video), and of course we thank Laura Fitton of Pistachio Consulting for posting the video on Qik. Lastly, we would like to thank the Polytechnic University and everyone else that made Podcamp NYC 2.0 possible. We can not wait till 3.0!
Its been about a week since Carrot’s Birthday Bash, and we would like to again thank everyone who came to celebrate with us. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Carrot’s first birthday, where there were a handful of us crammed in a little Connecticut office intoxicated off the hopes and desires to make Carrot Creative a successful and well recognized name in the New Media field. Now, just two years later, we feel that we have achieved that and so much more, and could not have done it without the support of our clients, family and friends. This Carrot Birthday Bash, much like the ones that preceeded it and the ones we have to look forward to, was not only a way for us to celebrate our success, but was a small token of our appreciation for all of you.
Happy Earth Day from everyone at Carrot Creative. We plan to use this day as a reminder of how we are all responsible for contributing to better environmental practices and “greener” lifestyles, on a daily basis… every little bit helps, and we intend to continue looking for new ways to reduce our impact as both a company, and as individuals.
On that note, we’d like to share a few of our favorite products and some of our daily green reads!
