The Dallas Innovates editorial team and more than 250 top innovators in North Texas gathered last week at WeWork in Uptown to celebrate the launch of Dallas Innovates 2019 — The Magazine.
The Dallas-Fort Worth innovation community was well represented. Ecosystem icons, founders, rising stars, rebels, renegades, and visionaries all came together to revel in North Texas’ Breakout Moment.
“It’s a moment that belongs to you,” said Quincy Preston, publisher, Dallas Innovates. “All of you are creating it.”
The magazine tells the story of our region as a hub of innovation and shines a spotlight on the people and companies starting, funding, and breaking through every day, Preston said. The publication features innovators having a breakout moment in fields from biotech to blockchain and IoT to AI — all forging the future, right here in DFW.
We’d like to thank everyone who attended and made the magazine reception a success.
