Look out Cinco de Mayo, there’s about to be some new pitchers in town full off two parts brain and one part confidence. Charlotte-based innovation powerhouse Edison Nation will host its first ever Pitch Day in the Queen City, the 37th most innovative city in the country according to Innovation Cities Index 2014.
Charlotte will soon play host again to one of the most progressive, trail-blazing tech conferences in the South's tech scene Sept. 11-14. BlendConf is the Charlotte-born conference intentionally aimed at growing our tech scene. Its refreshing focus on diversity while simultaneously connecting our city to the larger community (and intentionally unplugging while doing so) is exactly what the tech environment needs the U.S. over, not just here in the Q.C. Here's a video featuring last year's event so you can get a feel for what BlendConf 2013 was all about:
