On May 17, McCarter attorneys proudly participated in the third annual Propelify Innovation Festival, which the firm helped launch in 2016 as a way to inspire the tech and innovation community and those who take action—who propel. More than 10,000 attendees showed up to the event, which Forbes has called the SXSW of the Northeast, to learn about the next big things in the startup space. McCarter’s Dave Sorin spoke on a topic regarding the future of blockchain technology.
