Meet the Xconomists 2018 in Boston: The Photos

Earlier this month, we held our annual “Meet the Xconomists” reception in Boston. This event is where we invite a mix of business leaders across tech, life sciences, and other sectors to network and trade ideas with our informal editorial advisors (we call them the Xconomists).

It’s always a great crowd, and this year’s was extra special to me, as I was celebrating my 10th work anniversary at Xconomy. (My first two years were spent mostly in Seattle).

Big thanks to our hosts Underscore VC for opening up their space in Boston’s Old City Hall building for the party. A big shout-out to our reception sponsors, Fish & Richardson and Scientist.com. And special thanks to Keith Patankar for the photos above. Enjoy, and see you next time.
