Live Social Data Visualization Sculpture the H

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

The HÜB@Northside, a state of the art inflatable social space with the ability to display a variety of, real-time social connections and data visualizations inspiring you to “Look Up” will be located inside The Entrepreneurship Conference Headquarters, 149 Kent Avenue at North 5th in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The HÜB@Northside is the social town square and meeting place that connects innovators by enabling them to use social media to connect in a live environment, with others with similar interests. Contained inside the HÜB will be special events, a pitch space, and unique content not available at other festival venues such as one on one interviews, autograph sessions and contests. Inspired by the need to make meaningful connections at live events.

The HÜB has partnered with award-winning social discovery app Sonar to power a real-life, real-time social network among conference attendees. Sonar is the best way to connect and share with people nearby, and they share the HÜB’s vision for inspiring people to “Look Up” from mobile devices and connect face-to-face. 

You can download Sonar before you arrive at Northside, to know more about and connect with the other people around–people you’re already friends with and people who share your interests and connections.

“We wanted to curate a better way of connecting with others in the context of a live conferences. We asked ourselves, how can we help participants find their next co-founder, funder, or client and make sure they shake hands and not just tweet about it? How many times have we all stared at our mobile devices, endlessly looking for that magic connection, almost like a modern version of the Magic 8-Ball? How can we make sure they leave a venue with a connection that is truly valuable to them? The HÜB is our answer.” – Peter E Raymond – CEO ÜBERANGST

The HÜB will be unveiled at the Northside Festival, NYC’s largest and most accessible discovery festival. Hundreds of bands, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, innovators, and over 80,000 fans converge on Brooklyn over eight days to witness the most incredible showcase of “what’s next” in music, film, entrepreneurship, and art.
