The Invisible Dog, named for the invisible dog leash factory that used to inhabit it, is a new art space located at 51 Bergen Street in Brooklyn. The building has a terrific history and lots of Brooklyn charm. It’s the perfect place for a small, intimate conference. Click here for subway directions.

Cobble Hill is the lovely Brooklyn neighborhood that houses the Invisible Dog. It’s chock full of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and fun things to do. A special thank you to Airbnb for creating an Airbnb event for Brooklyn Beta. We think staying in a neighborhood apartment is the best way to get the full Brooklyn (Beta) experience.

Brooklyn is the largest borough of New York, the greatest city in the world. It’s similar to Manhattan, just a lot more awesome. In Brooklyn, you can find Prospect Park, Coney Island, and the majority of New York’s best neighborhoods. Living up to the hype of “best borough in the world” might seem difficult, but once you’ve spent some time here, you’ll believe.

Brooklyn is also the home of web design and development companies (Workshop, Big Spaceship, Carrot Creative, Huge), web startups (Etsy, Drop.io), and freelance badasses (Tina Roth Eisenberg, Jason Santa Maria).

Each autumn, Brooklyn becomes pretty much the prettiest place on the planet. Consider yourself lucky, and make time to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum while you’re here.

Earth is the name of the planet that nearly all of our attendees live on. Roughly 71% of the its surface is covered with water. It is also the inventor of the koala bear.

The universe is a vast place filled with stars, supernovas, and very likely aliens. It is home to such TV shows as Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. It has been kind enough to let us host the event in its space more or less free of charge.
