SPONSOR:

RBC

RBC recently launched RBC Research, a team which supports RBC’s innovation strategy through fundamental scientific study and exploration in machine learning theory and applications with the goal of developing state-of-the-art financial technologies. RBC is also an active contributor to the Canadian innovation ecosystem, including working with organizations like TechToronto, the C100 and as a founding partner of NextAI, a global innovation program for artificial intelligence related ventures. 

RBC has come onboard as a North American sponsor of Hackernest.

Sponsors make this growing movement possible, so we treasure and build deep, long-term relationships with the companies that endorse us. We're always looking for new friends! Please email sponsor@hackernest.com.

VENUE:

Workbar Brighton

Workbar understands that people don’t always work the way they used to. Technology has made the workforce more mobile, yet has also increased the need for shared resources, human interaction, and fun at work. So Workbar created a network of coworking spaces where independent professionals, start-ups, small businesses, and remote employees of larger enterprises can enjoy a vibrant community and high quality office amenities at an affordable price. 

At convenient and accessible locations around the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington and beyond, they provide extraordinary shared office spaces. Workbar’s members work and grow with access to meeting rooms, event spaces, and a wide variety of social meetups and educational workshops. In a nutshell, Workbar offers the professionalism of a corporate office, the flexibility of a gym, and the comfort of a cafe. 

We're on the lookout for easy to access offices with space that can fit our audience (standing-room only). Please email info@hackernest.com or leaf.jiang@hackernest.com  if you’d like to host a Tech Social!
