Channel: Vegas Talk
Date: 2013-08-04

Gear up as we celebrate episode #30 of the Downtown Podcast! In this episode, we talk with prolific angel investor Cyan Banister about what she thinks of downtown Las Vegas, her recent tech investments, and what will be hot tech verticals in the coming years. We also speak with Downtown Runners founder Tanya Carrier about their first 5k race event in downtown Las Vegas, as well as Jen Taler from the Stitch Factory about the August "Behind the Seams" Speaker Series. Finally, for all you developers out there, this week's event segment takes us through all the different user groups in the #VegasTech community, including a deep dive into the Las Vegas Ruby User Group from group organizer Judd Lillestrand. 

Oh, and we had live penguins on the episode thanks to Tony Hsieh and the August First Friday antARTica themed event!

The live audience this week was in for a treat this episode! Thanks to our sponsor Strip N Dip Chicken, who not only did they provide tons of #FreeBeer, but #FreeChicken as well! Be sure to stop by their restaurant on 873 South Rainbow Blvd in Las Vegas.
