The event was sponsored by the City of Lowell and UMass Lowell's Innovation Hub. Given Lowell's innovative business environment, affordable housing costs and commercial real estate, world class educational institutions, state-of-the-art research facilities, and community commitment, it was the perfect place to host Mass Innovation Nights #107.

The night was filled with the latest tech products from the area. 360 Properties' immersive technology allowed the audience to explore various properties through smartphones, traditional browsers, and VR headsets. WakeMe Alarm, a social video alarm clock app technology, showed us that waking up to videos of your friends and family might just be the best antidote to pressing the snooze button.
