Update: This year’s 50 on Fire nominations will be open through October 10th, 2014.

Last night we hosted the first 50 on Fire industry meetup at Carrie Nation, bringing together 50 on Fire nominees, judges, past finalists, and influential community members within the Marketing/Advertising, Media, and Tech sectors for an evening of incredible networking.

Why? In leading up to our annual awards celebration on December 4th at the Moakley Courthouse, we’re bringing together industry-specific groups in a series of 50 on Fire meetups — allowing these sub-communities to come together and foster innovation in our great city.

To those who enjoyed the hors d’oeuvres and cocktails at the speakeasy club, thank you for coming! Check out the photos in the slideshow below.

Want to learn more about 50 on Fire? Head here to see what the nomination process is and how the winners are selected, then nominate disruptors across all industries before nominations close September 30th.

The next industry meetup will be October 8th at Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant in Southie for the Dining & Retail and Arts & Entertainment communities. RSVP will be available soon. We hope to see you there!
