What happened last year?

Technical.ly's first ever Rise Conference happened over two days and consisted of over 35 speakers, 100+ attendees, 8 individual sessions and a keynote presentation by Randall Lane, Editor of Forbes Magazine. Rise was a lively gathering of civil servants, technologists and creative professionals (from varies cities) looking for new ways to life up where they live. We even had a success story come out of the two day event! Two Delaware residents met at the conference and worked together to make Newark Police crime data public. Check out the full story here!  


Read our Rise 2014 recap post and check out last year's website for a complete look at the agenda.
