Welcome HCx3DP Synergist! (…present or prospective…)

Our “HCx3DP New York” Meetup—HCx3DP stands for “Healthcare Multiplied by 3D Printing”—is designed to help grow a community of Metro NYC “HCx3DP Synergists.” Together, we will strive to discover, learn, exchange and advance personal, commercial and common-good knowledge about the new, important and valuable at the exciting and empowering intersection of HC & 3DP in our New York City.
For further background on our Meetup directions (and planned “HCx3DP Ecosystem”), link to my Blog post of 27 October: “HCx3DP New York: The Launch of ‘Healthcare Multiplied By 3D Printing’ in the Capital of Healthcare & 3DP…” For an informal overview of the enriching action at our 12 November Meetup (our debut get-together!), please link to my 17 November post: Our New HCx3DP Initiative…Bettering NYC’s Health Via Three “Cs”: Community to Conference to Cluster!“
Building on our kick-off momentum of 12 November, we’ve scheduled our next Meetup for Thursday, 11 December, in the evening from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Our NEXT venue is the “Think Tank” Event Space in NYU-Poly’s well-known, leading-edge, tech-based Incubator at 137 Varick Street (2nd Floor) in Hudson Square (otherwise known as SoHo West!) in Manhattan. (A very appreciative “thank you!” to the generous sponsorship of NYU and Steve Kuyan, Associate Director, Incubator & Entrepreneurial Initiatives at NYU’s Polytechnic School of Engineering.)
Hey, HCx3DP Community Members and Friends, if you’ve an appropriate event venue in mind—for January 2015 or further future—please lemme know ASAP! Key venue virtues include host co-aligned interests, gratis availability and reasonable access by public transportation.
We’re also working hard to keep improving on our first Meetup success. (An on-going challenge: I’ve received several emails of “congrats” from our attendees: I’m red-faced but VERY pleased.) Will evolve our agendas as we build value for our audiences—YOU! December 11 will have some similar features—because they worked well—to our Debut in November. December’s Agenda includes:
- 3D Printing Hands-On & Demos (by our fellow Meetup “Learn 3D Printing – Brooklyn”);
- Audience self-intros;
- The latest in my on-going series from our “HCx3DP Album of Innovation;”
- An informal panel of experts on topics of common interest;
- Audience suggestions for Meetup and Community betterment (e.g., panel topics, experts to recruit, directions we might go, etc.).
- Networking | networking | networking with light refreshments.
C’mon Back here to see our updates…
Best!
