In June, the ShrimpWorks team had the opportunity to present the platform during an innovation session at the Center for Responsible Seafood’s 2025 Shrimp Summit. Speakers were challenged to use the PechaKucha-style where they had 20 slides, and the slides auto-advanced every 20 seconds. Emily Field presented and won third place in the competition, and both she and Michael Lambert generated a lot of buzz around the system.
MinnWest Technology Campus and Nova-Tech Engineering had an amazing evening as the Presenting Sponsor for Good for Gary during Duo Headliner night at Rockin’ Robbins on Tuesday, July 22. We enjoyed the wonderful music and had a great time connecting with so many people! Thanks to everyone who attended and stopped by our booth to say “Hi!”
