NEXT PRINCETON PROPELLERS: 

Princeton Entrepreneurship Council introduces TigerTalks in the City, a quarterly panel discussion and networking event to connect alumni, faculty, and students. With the wave of entrepreneurship on campus and beyond, TigerTalks in the City will bring faculty to New York City to share key findings and insights from their research.

We invite you to join us at the inaugural TigerTalks in the City event on Thursday, October 6, 2016 at the offices of AppNexus, 28 W. 23rd Street. The topic is “Big Data and Little Privacy?” and explores the challenges of enabling big data apps while protecting the privacy of user-sensitive information. Four faculty members from Computer Science, Sociology, Woodrow Wilson School and Engineering will discuss their research.

The panel discussion will begin at 6:30pm and will be followed by a networking reception with hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Seating is limited, so please register early at entrepreneurs.princeton.edu/tigertalks.

You may also want to mark your calendar for the second TigerTalks in the City on December 1 for an informative discussion of “Smart Cities”. Future panels in March and May of next year will explore “Uberization” and “Bioethics”.
