Digital DUMBO was founded in 2009 as a recurring event series to raise awareness for and to better connect the creative and digital community in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn. We’ve executed projects in 4 countries and 7 cities with partners like Samsung, VitaminWater, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google, and has featured executives from VICE, Reddit, Buzzfeed, Etsy, foursquare, and more as speakers through its events. Along the way, Dumbo has become a critical point in what is now known as the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, an area with over 1,700 innovative companies responsible for $5bn in economic activity.
