With that in mind, and also to celebrate their successes, we have invited some pioneers of NYC community networks to visit and share their accumulated wisdom. SPEAKERS: Charles Rawls – Dorsai Embassy; Bruce Lincoln – Silicon Harlem; Dana Spiegel – NYCwireless; Tony Schloss – Red Hook Initiative. There are still seats available RSVP below..
