A Virtual Road Trip to CyberTech NYC
In a lively pre-event discussion, we embark on a metaphorical journey across the States, representing our excitement for the CyberTech NYC Conference, happening on September 5th, 2024, at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea.

Steve takes us through the journey of CyberTech as a global series, tracing its roots from Tel Aviv to its expansion across multiple continents. What sets CyberTech NYC apart, he says, is its dual focus on both global trends and local innovation.
