Navigating Internet Week
There’s nothing Yexters love more than New York City and the Internet (well, except maybe karaoke). So we’re excited that it’s finally Internet Week here in NYC.

There's nothing Yexters love more than New York City and the Internet (well, except maybe karaoke). So we're excited that it's finally Internet Week here in NYC.
For those unfamiliar with Internet Week, it's "a week-long festival celebrating Internet business and culture and will attract more than 45,000 Internet professionals, working across all sectors, attending 250+ events produced by IWNY and 150+ citywide event partners."
There's programming for everyone from designers, marketers, and engineers to those who just want to learn more about tech in NYC.
This is one of the biggest events for technology with events all over the city, and Yext has signed on as a sponsor to help you navigate Internet Week. For the past few months we've been working closely with the Internet Week team to develop some great and useful resources for the week all powered by location information:
-
The Official IWNY iOS App
- This is your guide to the week with important information about talks, panels and most importantly – when and where they are
-
- Internet Week wouldn't be complete without the coolest technology – so there is an interactive touch-screen map of all the events around the city for the week, including listings with all the detail you need
-
2013 Print Poster
- Design distinguishes NYC technology from the rest of the world, so the IWNY print poster has become a favorite. This year we worked with the team to create a map like you've never seen before. After all, where you are matters.
To see Yext in action stop by the IWNY HQ for talks from our executives:
-
Monday 20th: 11:20am-11:50am – Media+Marketing+Technology+Data Collision featuring Yext EVP Sales & Services, Wendi Sturgis
-
Wednesday 22nd: 10:35am-10:55am – Keynote on the Location Ecosystem by Yext CEO & Co-founder, Howard Lerman
And sign up for OpenCo to visit our new office and hear a presentation about our company and our vision for the future.
Finally, the reason we're so excited for Internet Week is because it's a chance to celebrate the important technology in the city. Our company wouldn't be the same anywhere else and we are proud to be part of the community. Yext is Made in NY – see for yourself.

There's a lot going on this week all around the city for Internet Week and we're looking forward to helping you navigate it.
