“The Other Festival was specifically created to address the lack of inclusion we saw across the festival landscape. We’re so proud of the unique and diverse mix of speakers, exhibitors and performers we’ve attracted to the event. Our goal is to give female founders access to practical tools, connectivity and culture in the city with the largest percentage of women-led start-ups – Brooklyn! This is a one of a kind event and I’m excited to see where this can go.” – Dee Poku, The Other Festival Founder.
