Event Details

Getting all you can out of what you've already built.

Zipit Wireless is a Greenville, SC based, venture backed company that focuses on delivering fully connected, wireless IP devices that use the company’s unique strengths in wireless connectivity, user-friendly device software, and server infrastructure to enable administration, and access to Internet services.  Their latest product leverages their platform to connect social media to a real world appliance.  It's a photo frame that operates via WiFi, and is controlled over the web to bring all of the largest photo sharing sites including Facebook, Flickr, and many others to something that can hang on your wall.  We'll talk about the technology, get an in-depth demo, learn about the Main Street Greenville company that created it, and learn where they plan to go next with it all.  Come see us in January for a powerful presentation.
