This Weekend, Downtown Wilmington will be the epicenter of technology and innovation.
I'll quote from our friends at the News Journal and Technical.ly Delaware:
Nearly 200 programmers from around the country are expected to put their skills to the test during this weekend’s finals of the inaugural OpenBracket Delaware coding competition at the Grand.
The initiative was kicked off by Ben duPont, the connected Wilmington-based investor and cofounder of Zip Code Wilmington who wanted to help corral the dollars and dealers necessary to push Delaware into the national conversation. Tapping into an informal coalition of various economic development groups that go under the Reinventing Delaware banner, duPont called on Zach Phillips of The Kitchen, Tariq Hook of Zip Code, nonprofit First State Innovation, consultant Kirsten Wolfington and, full disclosure, Technical.ly Delaware, including this reporter.

This Friday evening, come out for the Delaware Black Awards at World Cafe Live at the Queen.
Here's an excerpt from the website:
The Delaware Black Awards were established to publicly promote and highlight some of the best African American Businesses, Community Organizations, and Individuals in the state of Delaware. The goal is generate exposure for the award winners & nominees while encouraging the community and youth who aspire to become Delaware's future Business and Community Leaders!
The Award is a symbol of respect and admiration that will be given to a select identified few. Award recipients were nominated in multiple categories which we felt were important to the community and selected based on the popular vote. ALL nominees will receive significant community exposure and visibility, then on October 14th, the cream of the crop will rise to the Top as they are recognized for their contributions and honored with their Delaware Black 2016 Awards.
