The event takes place at Buffalo Convention Center in Buffalo, New York.
Attendees include startups, economic developers, established manufacturers, and emerging-technology researchers exploring innovation and collaboration opportunities.
It is most useful for startups, economic developers, manufacturers and researchers in New York State who want to meet regional peers, since the stated attendee mix spans those groups and the themes include biotechnology, new materials, energy and artificial intelligence. Speakers listed are all from organizer FuzeHub, so the program leans toward a statewide ecosystem event rather than a national technical conference, and out-of-state specialists seeking deep technical content would get less.
Innovation and economic development summits usually see business casual, with some blazers among officials and startup founders in smart casual; Buffalo in late October is cool, so a jacket is sensible.
